I've noticed that there are two different plugin directories in my PFF 1.5.0.3.
All the plugins I had installed in previous versions are found here:
G:\PortableFirefox\Data\plugins
Whereas when I installed Flash using the extension posted on the PFF page, the files went here:
G:\PortableFirefox\App\firefox\plugins
Is this okay? Do I need to harmonize these directories, move anything around...or just relax and enjoy?
P.S. I've got two searchplugins directories too, at G:\PortableFirefox\App\firefox\searchplugins and G:\PortableFirefox\Data\profile\searchplugins. Same answer there?

The 2nd one in Data is so you can keep your plugins in a single place (if you want) and not accidentally delete them when upgrading to a newer copy of PFF. PFF will use them both.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
Hi John
For the "searchplugins" folder though, I found that it has to be under the "App" folder. In my Portable Firefox installation, however, a "searchplugins" folder was never created under my "Data" folder, just under the "App" folder.
searchplugins are totally different from plugins and have to be within the firefox directory or (i think) within the profile directory.

No problem John...I was just doing a quick experiment with moving the searchplugins directory to check if what KevinTMC mentioned in his "P.S." would apply.
Thanks.
