Sounds like you are using Firefox directly from Mozilla and installing 
it in your home directory - which is what I used to do until 12 months 
ago. The installation of firefox which comes with Ubuntu, and 
'maintained' by Canonical, does not use the /home/.mozilla/plugins/ - 
the symlink there is "dead"; the plugin for FF is in 
/usr/lib/firefox/plugins.
