Hubbard" One good reason that they shouldn't be confused is that FreeBSD supports any number of helpers but NO plug-ins due to the fact that, well, Netscape hasn't availed themselves of our dlfoo() routines and BSDI's shared library interface SUCKS with a capital S. It seems to me that this is a place where you could benefit significantly if Netscape were free in terms of freedom and not merely price. (In other words, if Netscape used something like GPL or BSD license, you could actually fix this instead of complaining.)
