Currently, Konqueror supports Netscape 4.x plugins.
When KDE starts up, it looks in the following directories for .so files containing plugin code.
/usr/local/netscape/plugins |
/opt/netscape/plugins |
/opt/netscape/communicator/plugins |
/usr/lib/netscape/plugins |
$HOME/.netscape/plugins |
$MOZILLA_HOME/plugins |
$NPX_PLUGIN_PATH |
It examines every plugin to find out which MIME types the plugin supports. It then creates MIME type definitions for KDE in the user's
~/.kde/share/mimelnk |
directory to make other applications aware of the new mime types.
The result is that when you LMB click on a file with a mime type supported by one of your Netscape plugins Konqueror should display it correctly.
You can install new Netscape plugins such as Macromedia Flash in the directories mentioned above.
