Doubtful.  SuSE is known for including everything and the kitchen sink.
 What I meant was whether you installed the software off the
installation CDs or from their software servers.  The answer is you
didn't.  Chances are that if you installed them through SuSE's software
installer instead of downloading them from the individual sites, you may
not have had to do any extra work to get the plugins working.

If you go to Help->About Plugins... in Mozilla, there's a link that
leads you to a page about installing plugins in Mozilla.  I'd bet
there's useful information there for you.

It's a utility.  Not being a SuSE user, I can only base my information
on what I can remember from others on this list.  I think the utility
you're looking for is called yast.
