One issue I see with a `browserplugin' USE flag is that there may at some point be web browsers in the tree that support plugins that are not Mozilla-compatible. Although there are multiple Mozilla-compatible browsers (mainly browsers which use Mozilla code or have Mozilla embedded), the plugins in question are nonetheless essentially ``Mozilla'' plugins. Thus it is probably better for the USE flag to be called `mozillaplugin', to allow for the future introduction of other browser-specific plugin USE flags. (It would be undesirable for ebuilds supporting multiple types of web browser plugins to, if the single `browserplugin' USE flag is enabled, install plugins for all of the supported browsers that portage says are installed.)
