We can't tell they're duplicates, since they're actually different versions.... if they were the same version, one would get ignored.

what are the creteria for ignore? Same MIME type, same filename, same description?

Flash 6 and Flash 4 are not duplicates. See |nsPluginTag::Equals|: http://lxr.mozilla.org/mozilla/source/modules/plugin/base/src/nsPluginHostImpl.cpp#1094

so how does Mozilla figur out which plugin to use? Both Flash 6 and Flash 5 say they play the same MIME types... And I'd like to be 100% sure that it's Flash 6 that plays everything...

The order in which plugins will be used should correspond with the order in about:plugins. If picked up from the 4.x folder, Flash 5 should have the lowest priority and only used if Flash 6 wasn't found.

ok. not sure that I agree. I cant really see any valid reason do load a old version of a plugin that already loaded.

The problem is that we can not tell that it is an "old version". Web pages sniff out plugin version based on the kind of plugin.
