112050 - About Plug-ins Page is incomplete in 0.9.6

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 108246

(Core Graveyard :: Plug-ins, defect)

Description

[Robert Lange]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.6) Gecko/20011120
BuildID:    2001112012

Apparently in Moz0.9.6 the About Plug-ins page got broken. It does not show all
of my installed plugins. All of my plug-ins still appear to work properly, but
only one (Plugger) is displayed in the About Plugins page. Also, the About
Plug-ins page only shows the name and filename of Plugger, but no description or
associated MIME types.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Installed Red Hat 7.2.
2. Upgraded to Mozilla 0.9.5.
3. About Plug-ins page worked.
4. Upgraded to Mozilla 0.9.6.
5. About Plug-ins page is broken.

Actual Results:  Got an About Plug-ins page which is incomplete.

Expected Results:  Should have gotten the full listing of all plug-ins, their
descriptions, filetypes, etc, as in versions previous to 0.9.6.

Aside from the deXfault plug-in and Plugger3.3 (which came with RH72) I have the
Java Runtime 1.3.1 and the Real Player for Linux. All of my plug-in files are
still contained in the /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ directory that Red Hat uses.

On which plugin does it stop? Also see bug 112046 for a possible bug.

BTW: it needs to remove ~/.mozilla/appreg file after applying the patch
