116735 - Plugger 3.2 causes about:plugins to fail.

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 112508

(Core Graveyard :: Plug-ins, defect)

Description

[Michael O'Brien]

I just installed Mozilla 0.9.6 on my Linux system (glibc2.2.1, kernel 2.4.9). 
Previously I was using Mozilla 0.9.4.  I completely wiped 0.9.4 before doing the
install.  After the install, I placed the following symbolic links to my
Netscape plugins in /usr/local/mozilla/plugins (as I have done each time I have
installed Mozilla):

ShockwaveFlash.class  libflashplayer.so nppdf.so  plugger.so 

plugger.so is a link to plugger 3.2.

With Mozilla 0.9.6, this causes about:plugins to fail.  It returns only the
following output:

-------------------           
Plugger 3.2

File name: /opt/netscape/communicator/plugins/plugger.so
-------------------

No other plugins are shown, nor are the mime types for plugger shown.  I have
not seen this behaviour before with 0.9.4.  Interestingly enough, all the
plugins seem to work, including plugger!

If I remove the symbolic link to plugger, about:plugins works fine and shows all
the other plugins.
