Unfortunately, Plugger broke soon after installation -- and I never got some things working before it broke completely. Since fixing something like that (or figuring out what the fix is) costs me *real* (i.e. US$ 60-70) money per-hour, I left it broken. Now if I click on a link that is a PDF file, Mozilla crashes, etc., etc. I contacted the Plugger author via his website, but got no response of any kind. I was using it with Mozilla 1.2 and am now about to replace that with 1.4 so will try to get Plugger working again.
