That did the trick.  npplugin.so was there.

now, if I could only track down why I get:
(firefox-bin:7644): Gdk-WARNING **: gdk_property_get(): length value has wrapped in calculation (did you pass G_MAXLONG?)
*** nsExtensionManager::_disableObsoleteExtensions - failure, catching exception so finalize window can close
*** loading the extensions datasource
*** ExtensionManager:_updateManifests: no access privileges to application directory, skipping.

(firefox-bin:7644): Gdk-WARNING **: gdk_property_get(): length value has wrapped in calculation (did you pass G_MAXLONG?)
*** loading the extensions datasource
*** ExtensionManager:_updateManifests: no access privileges to application directory, skipping.

On startup...
