I use the package pkgs.firefoxWrapper or pkgs.firefoxVersionWrapper 
(where substitute "Version" with stuff like 36 or 15). These are 
wrappers with standard plugins which are flash and java (probably, I 
don't know the current state).

To tweak see the pkgs/top-level/all-packages.nix for definitions, 
descriptions and examples.

I don't know the status of global per-user or system 
package-configuration (like nixpkgs.config attrset) as I don't use it. 
That's why I waited so long to reply -- I thought someone has a better 
answer... but my way does work :-)


I hope this helps.
