If the automobile had followed the same development cycle as the computer, a Rolls-Royce today would cost $100, get a million miles to the gallon, and explode once every few weeks, killing everyone inside.

Ubuntu addict and loving it
question 1: what specific plugins did you lose? do they show up in aboutlugins?
question 2: any particular reason you're using the old installer script, instead of the new repository?

First of all I'm amazed I remembered my login.....
Second of all, to install ff 3.6 on 8.10:
sudo apt-get remove firefox ubufox
sudo apt-get autoremove
Download firefox from Mozilla. Extract to /opt/mozilla/firefox.
ln -s /usr/bin/firefox /opt/mozilla/firefox/firefox
What this does:
Gets rid of apt installation of firefox
Install from Mozilla (firefox will autoupdate now as well).
Links /usr/bin/firefox to /opt/mozilla/firefox/firefox. So, if you run 'firefox' (minus quotes) in a terminal, you will get firefox. You'll need to create your own menu links using this method though.

I got it fixed by running the commands
ln -s /usr/lib/jvm/ia32-java-6-sun-1.6.0.14/jre/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so /home/owner/.mozilla/plugins/libnpjp2.so
for java plugin and
sudo cp libflashplayer.so /home/owner/.mozilla/plugins/
