Subject: Netscape and Pluggins
There was a bug (dunno if it was fixed) with Netscape not properly
regenerating the ~/.netscape/plugin-list file. You might experiment
with renaming that, so that a new one is created.

BTW, if you haven't seen plugger
<http://fredrik.hubbe.net/plugger.html>, it's a nice generic plugin
which handles lots of file types (video, sound, etc.) mainly by using
standard Linux progs.
