The person who is to blame is then the mozilla packager or the packager placing
the plugin somewhere:
16:46 < _rene_> glandium: does our iceweasel already handle
/usr/lib/browser-plugins?
16:47 < glandium> _rene_: /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins is the canonical location
16:47 < _rene_> ok
16:47 < glandium> _rene_: for all mozilla-based products, including upstream
16:48 < _rene_> ah, mmh, that's even better

If that somebody honours the plugin defaults to firefox (yes, even installed
somewhere) for /usr/lib/mozilla everything is OK. Ad thenn either both firefox
will see the link or not. If not, they are on their own anyway.
