Netscape 6.x and newer use the same directory (user) as Mozilla so they 
share bookmarks, address book, cache, etc.  Netscape 4.x does not. 
However, Mozilla and Netscape do not share plugin or system directories. 
  I'm running Netscape 7.0 and I'm not sure which Mozilla.  For the 
plugins I've dropped the Mozilla plugins directory and replaced that 
with a link to the Netscape plugins dir.  Now when I install a plugin to 
one I've got the other covered.  So far this has worked.

/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins -> /usr/local/netscape/plugins
/usr/lib/netscape/plugins -> /usr/local/netscape/plugins

This is a Mandrake 8.2 install with Netscape 7.0 from Netscape's tarball.
