Firefox plug-ins save into diffent folder Mac I use "Fire fox" as my default browser. For last couple of days, I found my browser, running very slowly. As a step of speed it up, in a phase I wanted to delete all my "Fire fox" Plug-ins. In that time I found in internet that, the "Fire fox" Plug-ins should be stored in the "Hidden "Library" Folder" of Mac. But I didn't find any thing there. Then I kept searching for the Plug-ins &amp; now I find that, they are stored in the "Unhidden or regular "Library" Folder". I am going to attach two screen shots so that you can understand the situation. Now My question is:


Why the path is changed?
Is it necessary to make it correct?
If though, how could I do it?


If any one familiar with the question please reply me back. Thanks in advance. Have a good day.

It should be like this:



But I found it like this:
The /Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder contains plugins that can be used by any browser run from any account on your Mac. The /Users/reashedzamil/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder contains plugins that can be used by any browser but only when it is run by you.

However a better way to check which plugins are actually being used by Firefox is to type about:plugins into the address bar in Firefox. It will list all the plugins loaded into Firefox and tell you where they are. You can also visit http://www.mozilla.org/plugincheck/ which will analyse your browser plugins and tell you which ones are out of date.

You will also find another folder called something like /Users/reashedzamil/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles/RANDOMTEXT.default/extensions that contains plugins (also known as Extensions or Add-Ons) that will be run within Firefox only when it is run by you. However if you think that extensions are the cause of performance issues, the best way to remove them is to open Tools -> Add-Ons from the menubar and uninstall them from there. 

Another thing you can use to check for performance problems in Firefox is to type about:healthreport into the address bar.
