[EMAIL PROTECTED]">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.

As far as the web browser goes N6 is standards compatible. CommunicatorAlthough I have never used Mozilla on Mac, in my experience automatic
4.X isn't.
OTOH: with the exception of allowing for muliple mailboxes and Mail
accounts. The Communicator still works much better.
The biggest fault is lack of the Location bar in Mail and news in two
pane mode. (You can't get rid of that %^&*@# IE like side bar so you can
have much more reading room. IN MOz/N6 in order to switch servers (for
mail) is to click on sidebar to open select the server then close the sidebar.
Next on the Mac platform plugins are broken.
The applications menu in preferences doesn't work on the Mac Platform.
Moz/N6 doesn't allow for uses of embedded sounds (at least the Mac platform).
If you run across a newsgroup that uses old style layer tags which are
not allowed in MOZ/N6 the image flash on and off at a rapid rate and
the only way to get out of the post is to do a restart of the computer
(again the Mac platform). If someone has embedded the sound the console
appears but instead of the sound a window appears with raw code. (Mac Platform)
Setting of threading and showing unread messages in email (at least for
Mac platform) still doesn't work right) They do have it working
correctly in newsgroups. They don't stick in email though.
Even on a G4-500 with 1.5gb of system RAM its still about 3 times or
more slower to open up at start even with Communicator having tons of
Bookmarks, and system having tons of Fonts.
If and when they get all the above fixed then it will truely be a
replacement to Communicator.
But until then i will continue to test Moz and N6. And I will continue
to use Communicator until verstion 5.9.9.9.9 or until such time as the
above issues are addressed.

What in particular makes 4.x better than 6 for the users?
Also, given that netscape is focused on netscape 6, why do they still
even bother to support 4.x?
plugin detection doesn't work and plugins need to be manually added to
the mozilla/./plugin folder. I forget how you figure out which files
you need to copy in there since I just copy my plugin folder from one
build to another, but I am sure someone else will know... This does not
mean that plugins are 'broken', Mozilla just doesn't know you have them
until you tell him.
If they are placed in plugins folder how do you tell Moz or Netscape Mac
that they are in the folder?
In Communicator if a plugin is in the folder once the application is
quit and restarted the plugin shows up in the edit > preferences >
Navigator > applications menu. see example attached (gif). To have to
figure out what mime type to work with maually is dumb Quicktime for Mac
alone handles 50 different Mime types.
Besides maually adding a mime type you can try a Mime type (assuming you
know description and other stuff. Once entered it disappears as soon as
click okay. and the exercise is for naught.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Okay here the list:
Note it will be messy looking as the utility I have to copy window Screen Catcher doesn't seem to be able to do an entire window as it could in Communicator. It could make a picture of the entire About plugins window from A to Z. In Moz and N6 it will only copy the part of the window you can see on the screen:
Anyway here is required info:
