Re: installing plugin in Mozilla
You do not need to install plugins.All you need to do is to "borrow" them from the Programs which you may already have,such as Windows Mewdia,Quicktime,Acrobat,etc.The same plugins should be in at least oner Netscape Plugins folder.Just Copy from it,and Paste.You can Copy and Paste the entire Plugins folder.I have been doing it for all Netscapes,Mozilla,including nightlies,and it works well. If you want any clarification,contact me at my e-mail address.I do not visit this Web Board too often.

Sometimes mozilla.exe needs to be renamed to netscape.exe during installation of the plugin(and then changed back to mozilla.exe)
Re: installing plugin in Mozilla
Hi, Thanks for your answers! I will give a go. This seems complicated to me. I understand that Netscape is using the code of Mozilla for its own release. Why can't the program then recognise Mozilla as a pure Netscape and also look for mozilla?

Some people have reported this as happening, but for one plugin I don't remember it as being my experience(I think Flash, but I am not sure), and went through my procedure...
