After an 'emerge -a --newuse world' firefox was rebuild. Now I considered that the Gentoo-Bugs plugins were removed and had to be reinstalled by wget http://mycroft.mozdev.org/plugins/Gentoo-Bugs.{src,png} I think deleting plugins from the folder not installed by an ebuild should not be removed.

After upgrading firefox to 1.0.1 the Gentoo plugin was removed from /usr/lib/MozillaFirefox/searchplugins again.
Same with version 1.0.2, emerge firefox removes plugins from /usr/lib/MozillaFirefox/searchplugins
I also had that problem recently. Please have a look into bug #59671, where a patch is proposed. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 59671 ***
It is really annoying b/c of the subsequently updates of firefox in the last time. Any solutions in the near future ?
