Is there a way to ask the browser what plugins are
installed?

On netscape this would just be "about:plugins"
 
Ken,
Netscape style plugins are a thing of the past .........
In IE these are known as "Browser Helper Objects" (BHOs)
By default IE does not provide that info, you can look in the Registry
[or]
Use a [freeware] 3rd party app to display that info (no install required)
BHODemon 1.0 [freeware]

Also look at View Objects... for some of the legitimate ActiveX
downloads you may have. (Alt-T,O,Alt-S,O)
