This category is about Netscape-style plugins, most commonly used in Firefox and Mozilla Suite

Plugin is a piece of software that is used to extend browser's functionality. Unlike extensions which are capable of doing a wide range of things, from changing keybindings to blocking advertisements, plugins are only used to display content, not understood natively by the browser, such as Flash, Java applets etc.

A major source of information about plugins in Firefox and Mozilla Suite is PluginDoc.
