Details

it would be cool if it'd be possible to get notified when a new docshell is
created, so for example plugins can be turned off by default. I'm sorry if
there's already a way to do this, but i couldnt find any.
This is a feature request to make plugin blocking work in galeon.

Sorry, I don't understand the context you need this. Can you elaborate?
Oki doki:
In galeon, we'd like to have a pref which, if on, blocks all plugins.
Afaics, the way to do this with mozilla is calling dochsell->SetAllowPlugins.
You need to set this before the page is loaded, and for all frames, or it won't
work. I think the least hacky way to achieve this is calling SetAllowPlugins
directly on the new docshell when a new docshell is created.
