Phillip, If you would like to know which plug-ins are installed in Mozilla go to the menu bar and click on "Help" and then "About Plug-ins". This will list all the installed plugins and let you know if they are enabled or not. Knowing if a plug-in is enabled or not is useful for plug-ins such as Quicktime which can be configured to for many mimme tpyes such as Shockwave. BTW I find Quciktime is more reliable for playing Shockwave than the Shcokwave plug-in. When I click on "About Plug-ins" I believe all my plug-ins appear in the list. Is there a remote chance you accidently installed the plug-ins in the "Search Plug-in" folder and rather than the "Plug-ins" folder.
