115639 - Fizzilla-MachO doesn't support plugins as Bundles

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 155256

(Core Graveyard :: Plug-ins, defect)

Description

[Andrew Kimpton]

Fizilla when built as a Mach-O app doesn't load plugins that are stored as
Bundles - it currently retains a 'unix' style approach attempting to load
plugins as a single file containing a shared library.

I've been browsing through some of the source, and an immediately obvious fix 
(to my naive eyes) is to switch from using nsPluginsDirUnix.cpp to 
nsPluginsDirMac.cpp. However this in turn seems to require nsFileSpec to be far 
more Mac like (understandable really) - that's not too hard since I can change 
nsFileSpec.cpp to include nsFileSpecMac.cpp and change the XP_MAC defines to 
include XP_MACOSX and to handle the XP_UNIX defines.

But is this really the 'right' way ? If Fizzilla-MachO (correct sp. thanks Mike 
8-) really has a Unix backend then doesn't changing nsFileSpec.cpp to be more 
Mac like sort of break that ideal ?

cc'ing conrad. it appears that our plugin story depends a bit on your uber-file
bug ;)

what's the number for the uber file bug ? A bugzilla query for 
assigned_to=[e-mail] didn't show anything immediately obvious
