With "Enable Plugins" I check it, "Show all" preference panes, and when I go back to the Privacy pane it's unchecked again. I can't get it to stick at all. With "Load a page..." it's the opposite - I uncheck it, and when I restart Chimera it's checked again. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
Yeah, I think both checkboxes are broken.

Ever confirmed: true
i can reproduce the "enable plugins" checkbox problem. however, i don't have problems with the "load a page requested by another application" pref --i can toggle that one fine. tested using 2002.09.18.04.
Summary: Can't make preferences stick → Can't make "enable plugins" preference stick
Basically, my findings are the same as Sarah's. The enable plugins checkbox remains unchecked and can't repro "load a page requested by another application" checkbox issue.
I also couldn't find a parameter for this option in the prefs.js file. So it's no surprise that my preference isn't stored
This is fixed now. The pref is "chimera.enable_plugins".

ack, lost my changes... verified fixed using 2002.10.07.04, with the following caveats: * after making this change, need to either quit and restart chimera --or, open a new browser window. opening a new tab will still display plugin content. * plugins are still loaded on startup, even though they're disabled from the frontend. filed bug 173125. * if i load a shockwave file, chimera will crash. filed bug 173131.
