Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 61103

(Core Graveyard :: Plug-ins, enhancement)

Description

[Max Waterman]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; IRIX IP32; en-US; rv:0.9.7+) Gecko/20020120
BuildID:    2002012022

When I visit web sites that include, for example, shockwave flash elements,
mozilla pops up a window advising me to download a plugin.

In my instance, there is no plugin (n32), so I just click cancel on the window.
However, the user may want to not download the plugin for one of many reasons.

Please implement a facility to have it only ask once for a plugin to be
downloaded - eg a "don't ask me again" checkbox.

Thanks.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.visit a web site with a shockwave flash element using a browser which doesn't
have the plugin installed.
2.repeat step 1
3.repeat step 1

Actual Results:  each time a web page with a shockwave flash plugin is visitted,
the user is asked to download a plugin for it.

Expected Results:  Only ask once.
