Actual results:

Can not  detect after install new plugin


Expected results:

Will auto detect the new plugin
Component: Untriaged → Plug-ins
Product: Firefox → Core
If reopen the browser, page will detect the plugin
This is fundamentally caused by e10s and bug 1090576. This is not a simple fix that we can uplift to Firefox 51, and starting in Firefox 52 we don't support other plugins anyway, so I'm going to resolve this WONTFIX.
