Hello, all.
I need to do a bit of plug-in detection on Netscape 4.76/Linux.
A user may have nppdf.so installed, but decide (for some reason) to
pass off PDF to a helper application (acroread, xpdf, or whatever).
But when I try to detect the plug-in, I get the same result, whether
the plug-in is being used or whether the helper application is being
used. The presence of the plug-in is all it takes.
(navigator.mimeTypes["application/pdf"].enabledPlugin != null) returns
false in both cases.
Is there a way of checking to see if the user has *really* set the
preferences to use the plug-in?
