Netscape plugins problem



I'm running Debian Potato and need some web browser with encryption
and some plugins. Mozilla in unstable would not install cleanly so I
tried Netscape 6.1. After a custom install (browser, Java plugin,
Flash plugin) Netscape runs fine, but it does not recognize any
plugins but the libnullplugin.so. The other plugins are present, the
Java plugin is a correct symlink to the plugin shipped with the
Netscape install. Java does run from the command line.

I've found some hints in the archives, e.g. setting NPX_PLUGIN_PATH,
but that didn't help either. Is there any magic invocation that will
Netscape see its plugins?

BTW I ran Communicator 4.73, Mozilla 0.9.1 and 0.9.2 previously but I
think that I successfully removed all traces of these versions so this
should not be some interference with a previous install.

regards,
Markus
