Details

 
Win98SE, moz trunk build 2001111303 (sorry, no description in the first post) ;(

Steps to reproduce
1. Choose about plugins from the menu or type about:plugins in the URL bar

Actual result: Only thing displayed is:

Installed plug-ins
Find more information about browser plug-ins at Netscape.com.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Expected result: Being able to see all mime types and extensions supported, as
well as the filename and version of the plugins. It was working before, this is
a regression, but I don't know since when for sure. My guess is approx 1 month ago.
Summary: Choosing about:plugins from the menu → Choosing about:plugins from the menu doesn't give all the info
Could you please list all the dlls you have in your Mozilla Plugins folder? This
could be a dup of bug 108264.
Ok then here is my list :

np32dsw.dll  // shockwave plugin
npaudio.dll  // live audio plugin
npBeatnk.dll  // beatnik plugin
Npcdp32.dll  // ChemDraw Pro plugin
npchime.dll  // chimes plugin
npdsplay.dll  // media player plugin
npindeo.dll  // intel indeo plugin
NPJava11.dll  // Java
NPJava12.dll  // Java
NPJava131.dll  // Java
NPJava32.dll  // java
npnul32.dll  // default plugin
NPOJI600.dll  // Java
nppdf32.dll  // Acrobat reader 5.0 plugin
NPRover.dll  // FLatland rover plugin
npswf32.dll  // Flash plugin
npwmsdrm.dll  // Media player plugin


That's all.
Be sure you have Javascript turned on. Does Tasks -> Tools -> Javascript console
show anything?
using the same build/same plf, this wfm.
Reporter, please remove/rename npwmsdrm.dll and let me know if the problem goes 
away.
1. Yes I have Javascript on, Javascript console displays:

Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned failure code:
0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [nsIDOMPlugin.name]"  nsresult: "0x80004005
(NS_ERROR_FAILURE)"  location: "JS frame ::
jar:resource:///chrome/toolkit.jar!/content/global/plugins.html :: <TOP_LEVEL>
:: line 95"  data: no]


2. Weird, I tried to delete my plugin files one by one to see if things would
sort out, but even after deleting all plugins, It wasn't working. So I restored
the deleted files and tried about:plugins again and this time it *partially
worked, i.e I saw the Flash, Acrobat reader, and Flatland Rover plugins listed.
Then I sae the message about renaming/removing npwmsdrm.dll and after deleting
it I now see all java plugins in addition to the 3 plugins i saw earlier. Still
not all plugins are listed. The strange thing is that I now restored the deleted
npwmsdrm.dll and still see all plugins I saw when I deleted it. 

I'm really confused about what's going on. Any ideas?. There's still the
javascript error though...
Sounds like bug 108246? If so, please mark dup.
