Flocking marvellous

Just installed Flock 2.0 beta 2. No problems except it didn't pick up my flash plugin.

Thanks to this forum page, I did the following and all now works:

go to ~/.flock and
ln -s /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins plugins

Edited March 2010 to add...
useful thing in firefox when working out where the plugins are
about:plugins

Also - how to sort out a launcher...
gedit \home\usrname\Flock.desktop
