This works here and is covered by nsplugins.eclass. Are /usr/lib/nsbrowser and /opt/netscape present on your filesystem?

whoa, this is an old bug, and in fact the things mentioned in this bug aren't
even what I was looking for.

nonetheless, this should be *truly* fixed with the new nsplugins-v2 patch in
these versions:

www-client/mozilla-1.7.10-r3
www-client/mozilla-firefox-1.0.6-r4
mail-client/mozilla-thunderbird-1.0.6-r4
