You can specify a callback function in the InstallTrigger.install() method.
Since the callback is called when the installation is completed, I figured I
would call navigator.plugins.refresh(true) there. That didn't seem to work;
so I put setTimeout("finished()", 10) in my callback and called
navigator.plugins.refresh(true) in finished(). That didn't work either.
I'm guessing that navigator.plugins.refresh(true) doesn't work in Netscape
6. Maybe there is another call with the same functionality. I read a
posting by Eric Krock that said you don't need to refresh the plugins in
Netscape 6 if you install through XPInstall. That doesn't match my
experience.
