Steve Scrimpshire Posted June 22, 2003 Report Share Posted June 22, 2003 I had read somewhere (thought it was on this board, but I've done a search and can't find it) that Netscape searches for installed plugins whenever your WM is started (maybe it's whenever Netscape is started?) and there was some way to disable this. My understanding is that it is looking for new plugins, which is not necessary if you haven't added any new ones. If I am correct, how do you do this...disable it, I mean and enable it only when you need it? TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paleo Posted June 22, 2003 Report Share Posted June 22, 2003 I don't know if we are talking about the same thing but the startup script (/usr/bin/startkde) for KDE3.1 contains the lines: ## Laurent kde2.2-30mdk scan-nsplugins #if [ -x /usr/bin/nspluginscan ]; then # /usr/bin/nspluginscan #fi these lines are commented out by default so they don't do anything but if they weren't commented out, kde would scan for netscape plugins (that's what it says, right?) I don't know if netscape does anything on its own though. If /usr/bin/netscape or whatever it is that is used to startup netscape is a script, you might take a look at it.

paleo Posted June 22, 2003 Report Share Posted June 22, 2003 actually, I'm not sure if the lines above are commented out by default. You can set whether KDE scans for new plugins in Kde control center ->WebBrowsing ->Plugins. I might have disabled it there. I don't remember.
