This is how it's set up in my netscape and IIRC it worked
First put into location bar: about:plugins
See if you have "Netscape Default Plugin:
/usr/lib/netscape/476/communicator/plugins/libnullplugin.so" You should,
it's part of the default install, IIRC. This is probably needed to
handle mime types. Then
Goto: Netscape::Edit::Preferences, locate Category
Navigator::Applications in the tree to the left. Now locate in the
window to the right: Quicktime Video, click on Edit. If there is none,
click on New. Then enter:
Description: Quicktime Video
MIMEType: video/quicktime
Suffixes: qt,mov
Click on "Handled by: Application": xanim +q '%s'
Click OK, probably restart
Good luck. If it doesn't work, please send me an URL where it should
work, so I can try out if it does for me
Good luck, M
