I got it, and put a link to it in .../firefox/plugins.  Some pages use
it, others don't see it and say I need to get it.

I suspect the pages that do not see it check the installed add-ons list
rather than check for the .so file.  A real pain.  The list points to
directories that have metadata as well as the add-on.

Any clues as to how to tell such pages it's there?

TIA
Jim
