+<para>As &Netscape;'s <application>Navigator</application> has been a
+web browsing standard for many years, so-called &Netscape; plugins have
+appeared that allow rich web content.  Using those plugins, web sites
+can contain <acronym>PDF</acronym> files, flash animations, video, &etc;
+With &konqueror;, you can still use these plugins to take advantage of
+rich web content.</para>
+
+<note><para>&Netscape; plugins should not be confused with &konqueror;
+plugins. The latter ones specifically extend &konqueror;'s
+functionality; they are normally not used to display rich web
+content.</para></note>

+
+<para>&konqueror; has to know where your &Netscape; plugins are
+installed.  This can be in several places, &ie; you might have
+system-wide plugins in <filename
+class="directory">/opt/netscape/plugins</filename> and your personal
+plugins in <filename
+class="directory">$<envar>HOME</envar>/.netscape/plugins</filename>.
+However, &konqueror; will not automatically use the installed plugins:
+it first has to scan a list of folders.  You can initiate the scan
+by clicking <guibutton>Scan for new plugins</guibutton>.  Alternatively,
+you can enable <guilabel>Scan for new plugins at &kde; startup</guilabel>
+so &konqueror; will scan the appropriate folders every time &kde; 
+starts up, to see whether new plugins have been installed.</para>
+
+<note><para>Enabling <guilabel>Scan for new plugins at &kde;
+startup</guilabel> can considerably slow down the startup procedure,
+and is known to give difficulty on certain installations.  Turn this
+option off if you experience problems.</para></note>
+
+<para>To find plugins, &konqueror; will look in the folders
+specified in the <guilabel>Scan Folders</guilabel> frame.  When you
+use this control module for the first time, this list will already be
+filled with reasonable paths that should work on most operating systems.
+If you need to provide a new path, click the <guibutton>New</guibutton>
+button; then you can either enter the new path in the text edit box to
+the left, or choose a folder using the file dialog by clicking the
+<guibutton>New...</guibutton> button.  As scanning the folders can take
+a little time, you might want to remove folders from the list where
+you know that no plugins are installed: do this by selecting a folder
+and clicking <guibutton>Remove</guibutton>.  Using the
+<guibutton>Up</guibutton> and <guibutton>Down</guibutton> buttons you
+can change the order in which folders will be scanned by moving the
+selected folder up or down.</para>
+
+<para>As usual, click <guibutton>Apply</guibutton> to save your changes
+permanently.</para>

+
+<para>In this tab, you can see a list of the &Netscape; plugins found by
+&konqueror;, displayed as a tree.  Double click on a plugin to fold it
+out and you'll see that the different mime types this plugin can handle
+will be displayed as branches.  Fold out a mime type to see its
+info.</para>
+
+<para>This tab is mostly for informational purposes.  The only
+configurable option is <guilabel>Use artsdsp to pipe plugin sound
+through aRts</guilabel>, which is enabled by default. Disable this if
+you wish plugins to use their own method for sounds, and you have
+configured &arts; in such a way that third-party applications can do
+so (for example, by having it exit when idle, or by having it use a
+custom sound device on modern soundcards which allow this.)</para>
