Shared libraries (like Netscape plugins) are a different matter: they need to 
interface intimately with the native code - you can't run part of an app. in 
QEmu.

Last time this came up, somebody suggested that you might be OK with x86 
Mozilla, with the x86 flash plugin, all under QEmu.  I've not tried this, 
YMMV ;-)

HTH,
