Tutorials and Howtos should only relate to developed software, and not to third party applications. e.g.: Don't post a generic Howto for configuring a firewall.
If you have a question how to do something, you should use one of the support boards, not this board. It is meant for people to document and post instructions.

If linux Pale Moon can't find your plugins (Flash, etc)
The root cause of the problem is that linux Pale Moon looks for plugins in a different directory than Firefox/Chrome/Opera/etc. And linux distros install plugins for the Firefox default location. The solution is to symlink those 2 directories together, so that everybody's happy. It takes 2 commands from the commandline Because you're writing to /usr, you have to do the following as root. This assumes that Flash, or whatever, has been installed, and that the nsbrowser/plugins directory exists.
There's a right way

You know Walter Dnes.. I am in constant awe of your ablity to not only in some cases to do or advise things contrary to what we advise but also to badly rehash things we have already taken the time to cover properly.
Basically I am tired of constantly having to correct you so just stop..
This thread is redundent because this is covered http://linux.palemoon.org/help/faq/#noplugins

Perhaps I'm missing something, the posted link took me to text making reference to the same non existant directory.
