Java 1.3 has plugins for both Netscape 4.61 and Mozilla (IBM Web Browser), the install program only installs the Netscape version, however. The mozilla plugin, mzplugin.exe, is in the \netscape\ns directory. Create a temporary directory and copy that file to it and run it. Then run the setup file or just copy the file npoji6.dll to your mozilla\bin\plugins directory.
