Found this on Mozilla site

Note: Plugins and extensions are completely different technologies, they 
have nothing to do with each other (apart from being related to 
Mozilla). In layman's terms, if you want to add a button to Firefox User 
Interface, using XUL and JavaScript, you want an extension. If you want 
to write some C++ code that can show something embedded inside a 
webpage, you want a plugin. A extensions are AdBlock and NoScript, 
typical plugins are QuickTime and Macromedia Flash.

So I guess my question should be: does, can or will Konqueror support 
EXTENSIONS rather than plugins
