HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MozillaPlugins HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\MozillaPlugins Here are some example locations from my machine: If an app installs a plugin in a central location and wants Firefox to find it, it just adds a registry key. The first method we’re going to talk about is using the Windows registry. It can be a security issue because websites can know paths on your machine by looking at filenames in the ugins array.) (Don’t forget to toggle it back when you are done. If you’re wondering where they are loaded from, you can go to about:config and set the preference plugin.expose_full_path to true and it will show all the different paths from which Firefox has loaded plugins. You’ll see a list of all the plugins that are loaded in your browser. First, though, type about:plugins in your browser. That method became quite cumbersome, so new ways were invented for the browser to find plugins. When you installed a plugin, it placed a DLL or shared library into that directory. Back in the day, that was where all plugins were loaded from. You probably know that there is (or at least used to be) a plugins directory in the same location where the Firefox executable is located. Note that this post is primarily about loading plugins on Windows.
In particular, I learned a lot how to stop Firefox from loading plugins from different locations.
