# 7.10. Netscape® Plugins

Currently, Konqueror supports Netscape® 4.x plugins.

If you select Preferences->Web Browsing->Netscape Plugins from the K menu you will get a dialog box with two tabbed pages; Scan and Plugins.

## 7.10.1. Scan

This page lets you make KDE scan for new Netscape® plugins, either manually by pressing the Scan for new plugins button or automatically each time KDE starts up.

The scan is done by looking through the directories listed in the Scan Directories list for `.so` files containing plugin code. It examines every such file 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.

## 7.10.2. Plugins

This page shows you the Netscape® plugins that KDE has found, and for each plugin it lists the MIME types and the filename suffixes it uses to recognise them.
