256956 - Placeholder for missing plugin has the old netscape missing plugin

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 256663

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[u88484]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.2) Gecko/20040825 Firefox/0.9.1+
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.2) Gecko/20040825 Firefox/0.9.1+

(WARNING: Don't watch the video if you have the plugin...sorry, i tried to find
another page that has same effect)

I go to the page and I'm missing the plugins, well the placeholder for the
missing plugin has the old netscape missing plugin icon in the middle. The
plugin is for quicktime. Other pages with quicktime I get the regular firefox
version icon for missing plugin like whats at the bottom on the page at the link.

Opening in IE I get a message in IE's bar saying "this site might require
the follwing ActiveX Control: 'Quicktime Installer' from 'Apple Computer Inc.' "

Maybe because it requires ActiveX on that page thats the reason why for
the weird icon?

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to above link


Actual Results:  
Two placeholders for plugins. First placeholder has the old netscape plugin icon
and the second placeholder has the new icon.

Expected Results:  
Should both be the new icon.

Possible dupe of bug 256663 ?

Also FYI, "Web Site" is for bugs on the Firefox web site - mozilla.org/firefox

Ah, yes. Now that I'm more awake than I was last night when I asked you to file
a bug on this, I rememberd bug 256663. And indeed, that bug does cover this
problem. Duping, and sorry for the mistake on my end.
