Fedora's Firefox looks in /usr/lib/firefox-2.0.0.14/plugins, but some 
3rd party plugin installers drop them in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins. Just 
create sym-links from /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins to 
/usr/lib/firefox-2.0.0.14/plugins, e.g.:

ln -s /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/* /usr/lib/firefox-2.0.0.14/plugins/
