115550 - plugger breaks plugins

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 112508

(Core Graveyard :: Plug-ins, defect)

Description

[jon]

When I install Fredrick Hubbe's Plugger plugin, the only thing that gets
displayed when I do a "help/About Plug-ins is:
Installed plug-ins
-------
Find more information about browser plug-ins at Netscape.com.

Plugger 4.0

    File name: /usr/lib/netscape/plugins/plugger.so
---------
Removing the file /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/plugger.so fixes things so that all
the other plugins are listed.

Also I found if I installed plugger (version 4 using rpm) while Mozilla was
running, the plugger information would display correctly in "Help/About
Plug-ins", but closing down and restarting mozilla would cause plugins to fail
again.

Reporter:
Do you get an error in the Javascript Console (tasks/tools/javascript Console)
if you open About:plugins ?

(an error like this one :
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]

)

Matti,
I downloaded the latest build RPM (2001121412) for RH7.  The problem appears
fixed here.  I did this prior to receiving the request to look in the javascript
console.
Thanks for the prompt response.

bug 112508 is fixed and you can't reproduce it with a new build.

I mark this as a dupe of this bug.
Thanks for your fast answer !
Please reopen this bug if you disagree...
