To keep Lunar clean, light and secure: something you will never see on 
Windows. Not like in Windows where after uninstalling the icons from 
desktop and start menu disappear but junk execs, libraries and all other 
stuff is left not mentioning registry where leaving everything is ugly 
tradition cultivated by every software publisher.

Plugins are put inside /opt/lunar/plugins. /opt/lunar/firefox/plugins is 
only symlink to it. If you put something in /opt/lunar/firefox/plugins it 
will land in /opt/lunar/plugins and will remain there after firefox 
removal. If you have personal plugins you should keep them in home 
directory in .firefox subdir - not mess system wide. Leave system wide 
files management to Lunar - personalize Lunar in home dir only. Other 
users on system will be glad and migration will be easier. Firefox since 
release 4 does not install plugins anymore.
