116014 - All plugins not displayed under about_plugins

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 112508

(Core Graveyard :: Plug-ins, defect)

Description

[Ray Curtis]

From Bugzilla Helper:

This is redhat 7.2 using plugger and flash etc as plugins. Most of 
these seem to work, however don't list under Help/About_Plugins.
Also if I go to Edit/Preferences/ZNavigator/Helper_applications the
only ones listed are text/helper the default plugin which makes
making new plugins hard since you don't really know which ones are
already created.
I found this out when I created a new plugin here for 
application/pdf pointing to a script I created, but plugger
also had the same plugin and this created a real problem 
that stopped some of the other plugins for plugger not to
work.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Go to any URL that needs to use a plugin
2.Looking at Help/About_plugins
3.

Helper Applications and plugins are two separate things. Can you tell us exactly
which plugins you have installed and which ones are listed in about:plugins?
