662360 - [plugincheck] unknown plugin's "Research" button points to a 404 page.

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Websites :: plugins.mozilla.org, defect)

Description

[Rimas Kudelis [use needinfo to ping]]

The Research button on plugincheck page points to http://www.mozilla.com/en/plugincheck/null instead of (supposedly) redirecting me to Google with a query.

Pascal suggests I use plugins.mozilla.org for a component, but the problem happens in http://www.mozilla.com/en/plugincheck/

What's the plugin you're seeing this with?

[Rimas Kudelis [use needinfo to ping]]

this one (info copied from about:plugins):

    File: librhythmbox-itms-detection-plugin.so
    Version: 
    This plug-in detects the presence of iTunes when opening iTunes Store URLs in a web page with Firefox.

I see this same behavior with the above plugin as well as:

gxine starter plugin

    File: gxineplugin.so
    Version: 
    will start external gxine media player for embedded media streams

Seems that any plugin that isn't known references the URL in comment #1. Looks like a bug in the plugincheck page on linux only.

Seeing the same thing here with the "Gnome Shell Integration" plugin provided by GNOME 3.

Also, I filed bug 734673 regarding the lack of a component for plugincheck bugs.
