For probably the first time ever, I just had a look at that. And I'm asking 
myself - why does OOo have nsplugins support at all?

It's an office suite - I use it mostly to read documents other people send me, 
and because antiword is a little too minimal. What could OOo possibly do in 
my specific case that requires browser plugins? It's not like I'm in the 
habit of embedding java and flash applets into impress presentations
