On some of the platforms that Mozilla supports plugins are not available.  The
one I get all the time is for Flash.  The plugin dialog pops up on every page
that requires the plugin, even if I've already been to the page.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use Mozilla on a platform that is missing a specialize plugin.
2. Go to a site that requires that plugin.  Easiest to find are Flash or Java
Applets.


Actual Results:  
You are reminded on every page visit that the plugin can be downloaded, even if
it can't.

Expected Results:  
Mozilla should remember that you've said "Cancel" on the plugin dialog and not
tell you over and over and over again to download something that doesn't exist.
 Remind me once in a while (maybe once every browser restart?) but moving
through a site that has a Flash plugin on every page takes forever.
This is art of the plug-in manager work. You will be able to turn specific
plug-ins off
