Details

The Plugin Check displays "Unable to Detect Plugin Version" for these plugins:
Virtual Earth 3D 4.00100226006 plugin for Mozilla
Picasa
Google Earth Plugin
Google Update
Foxit Reader Plugin for Mozilla

However, any webpage can access the version for those by using navigator.plugins[i].version, just like about:plugins does (I saved about:plugins to disk, removed the stringbundle parts from it, opened the file in Firefox, and it displays everything).

What am I missing?
navigator.plugin[i].version was added by bug 427744 for Gecko 1.9.2a1.
Here below, a list of other plugins that are not detected by plugin check :
Microsoft Office Live
Windows Live photo gallery
Cooliris embedded in a tab
VLC (bug 587791)
