Mon 13 Oct 2008 06:33:49 AM UTC, comment #2: As $HOME/.mozilla/plugins is created when installing Firefox or Mozilla, this directory should always be there. Just because one person removes their $HOME/.mozilla directory doesn't make this a blocker, and besides, it's an easy one line fix anyway. Most people don't remove their $HOME/.mozilla dirctory, since all their user settings, bookmarks, etc... are also stored there.	Rob Savoye <rsavoye>
Sun 12 Oct 2008 09:35:56 PM UTC, comment #1: plus the dirs we create (but only if we created them). a blocker, isn't it ?	Sandro Santilli <strk>
