Am Trying the build of Mozilla I downloaded last week.
Although seing in about: Plugins, it shows all plugins active, in the
Applications menu in preferences they still don't show up in the
Applications menu.
Mozilla has all plugin mime types for all plugins turned on at same
time, despite several that overlap. Therefore newsgroups and websites
that use sound don't have sound and shows broken plugin icon. In some
cases images are flashing rapidly so they may your eyes blink.
When you go to site to get plugin it shows Quicktime as the desired
plugin. I am already using it.
