Category:Plugins

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

A plugin is a (frequently optional) software component that is used to extend the functionality of a software application. Plugins are used by all sophisticated Web browsers to display content which they do not natively understand, such as Flash movies and Java applets. Firefox and the Mozilla Suite support many plugins, thus enabling the user to experience the wide range of media currently available on the Web, including sound, video and games.
