Description Gino McCarty 2019-06-22 21:41:57 UTC

After upgrading to profile 17.1 plugins symlink is broken

/usr/lib64/firefox/browser/plugins -> /usr/lib/nsbrowser/plugins/

should be pointing to 

/usr/lib64/nsbrowser/plugins/

Did you run all steps shown in profile 17.1 migration guide? You probably need to re-emerge all packages still using the old location. Please do that and report back if this will fix your issue.

firefox ebuild doesn't call share_plugins_dir() for a very long time, it fixes plugins path in the sources. I guess this symlink can be safely removed.
