Forget it. For the most part Plugins mechanism is broke in Mozilla and Netscape6.

There doesn't appear to be any effort by anyone to get this fixed. Or
possible it won't be fixed and the Appliation menu part of Preferences
may be yanked altogether.

Besides most plugins use a method called Liveconnect which is not
considered Standards compatible, even though the code has been donated
to W3C Committee.

No plugin Manufacturer has expressed interest in updating the code to
make them work with possible exception of Apple Quicktime / MacroMedia Flash.

Supposedly Quicktime and Micromedia Flash is supposed to work. But I
have yet to get them to work.

Besides My brain is not supple enough to know each and every one one of
the variations on the Mime types that the quicktime plugin  can handle
which is about 60-80 variations, manually type them in.

ON Mac Internet Config is supposed to pickup all the types and Moz / N6
are supposed to use Internet Config automatically. All the types appear
to be listed but I have yet to see a image or here a sound, even on websites.
