Details

after bug 133282 got fixes it could be really really nice if the Prefs 
contained a UI to set all the different "auto scan for plugins" prefs. Common 
users dont know how to add stuff to the prefs.js file.

|--- Plug-ins---------------------------------------
| Scan for Sun Java                     [x] [_1.4_]
| Scan for Adobe Acrobat                [x] [_2.3_]
| Scan for Apple QuickTime              [x] [_____]
| Scan for Microsoft MediaPlayer        [x] [_____]
| Scan in Netscape 4.x plug-in folder   [x] [_____]

"Common users" do not need to know that Mozilla scans for plug-ins.  Scanning is
part of making plug-ins Just Work.

I don't think these should even be hidden prefs.  They should be hard-coded as
constants in C++.
This functionality will probably be exposed when the UI for the plugin manager
is implemented.

These new prefs are generally for embedding partners that have requested this
level of control rather than end users.
The plug-ins triage team (av, beppe, peterl, serge and shrir) have reviewed this
issue and have made the following determination:

This is a dup of plug-in manager bug
