Everything is ok in "About:plugins" for me on 0517 branch 1.0.0 on NT.

No ! Try trunk build for 17th may !

Nothing is listed. And it is not a late april fools joke !
It seems to be a trunk bug. Downloaded 1.0.0 branch build for 17th may and it
works... :-/

Even tabbed browsing which seems to be broken in trunk
Frederic, what was your previous build over which you installed this one?
this is working on 2k as well. frederik can u try using a new profile? also, 
installing right on top of an existing browser is known to show mysterious 
problems, can u try seperate folder install as well? thanks for ur patience !
ugh..was sleeping..did not see ur earlier comments. I just tested the 0517 
*trunk* as well. wfm.
I am a bit concerned. Frederic, would you please also try to remove registry.dat
(quit the application first) and restart and see if the problem is gone. The
file is normally in C:\Documents and Settings\YourWinPofileName\Application
Data\Mozilla
Unable to reproduce on 20020517 Moz branch and trunk 
In answer to comment #4 to 8 :

a) Only using zip files.
b) Never overwrite previous build : delete all files but not plugins folder
(well, npnul32.dll is erased too).
c) I was using trunk build from 16th may 2002.
d) It seems that my profile was kinda broken.

So, I leave alone trunk build for some times. I think I don't have a lot of luck
yesterday :-/
