Mozilla Plugin Support on Microsoft Windows
This list shows supported MIME types and plugins that handle them. For convenience, it also shows many MIME types that Mozilla handles internally. This is a long list, and may take a few moments to load (pity the poor guy who has to keep it updated!).
This list is incomplete, and should be used as a guide only.
