"window.navigator.plugins[i].name" returns plugin filename instead of plugin
name.
If we try to get plugin name using javascript command
"window.navigator.plugins[i].name", it returns plugin filenames instead of
plugin names.

I checked this bug again with todays build.
Build: 1999-06-08-08. [Apprunner/Viewer]

This bug still seems to be there. Its still returning plugin filenames instead
of plugin names. Reopening bug.
How are you testing this?
Using the testcase I provided.
All I'm doing is just using command "window.navigator.plugins[i].name" in a loop
till i=0 becomes i= window.navigator.plugins.length.

So it should print all the names of available plugins. Instead it's printing all
available plugin filenames.
Basically window.navigator.plugins[i].name is returning the same value as
window.navigator.plugins[i].filename.

Here is example comparison of results I'm getting and expected results.
[Considering, plugins installed on my machine]

Expected Results:

List of Plugin Names

1] CorporateTime vCalendar Plug-in
2] RealPlayer(tm) LiveConnect-Enabled Plug-In (32-bit)
3] QuickTime Plug-In
4] Netscape Default Plug-in
5] Java Plug-in 1.3 for Netscape Navigator
6] Java Plug-in 1.3 for Netscape Navigator
7] LiveAudio
8] NPAVI32 Dynamic Link Library
9] Headspace Beatnik Player Stub V1.0.0.1
10] Shockwave for Director
11] Shockwave Flash 2.0

Actual Results:

List of Plugin Names

1] C:\PROGRAM FILES\NETSCAPE\COMMUNICATOR\PROGRAM\plugins\npvcal32.dll
2] C:\PROGRAM FILES\NETSCAPE\COMMUNICATOR\PROGRAM\plugins\Npra32.dll
3] C:\PROGRAM FILES\NETSCAPE\COMMUNICATOR\PROGRAM\plugins\Npqtw32.dll

I checked this with builds 07-02-10. I'm afraid that its still not working. It
still returns plugins filenames instead of names.
Reopening bug.
Could you please try at least 07-03-99? The latest sweetlou build from 07-02-99
has a timestamp 10:55. I did it well after noon.

Yeah its working fine with 07-03-08 builds. Sorry for reopening bug and not
checking it with later builds. Thought since its fixed on 07-02, it should work
on those builds. Sorry about confusion.
Marking it fixed and verified.
