Overview Description: In case when TYPE attribute is omitted and SRC attribute is present a pluglet can't be started. In such cases the file extension of value of SRC attribute of EMBED tag should be used. If this situation isn't intended to be supported then it should be clearly specified. Steps to Reproduce: 1) place into test html page: <EMBED src=data.smp width=100 height=100> 2) place into manifest file of the pluglet: MIMEDescription: application/x-simple-pluglet:smp:Test 3) start mozilla and load the test page Actual Results: The pluglet will not be started Expected Results: The pluglet should be started.

I am changing severery to "enhancement"
Severity: major → enhancement
The TYPE attribute on the OBJECT element is optional. The submitter's comments relate to EMBED, but as the implementation of OBJECT and EMBED are so closely coupled, I'm going to make an educated guess that the problem described here manifests itself with the OBJECT tag as well. Based on this, I'm changing the severity to "normal" and adding the "html4" keyword to put this back on the radar. It would be helpful if the submitter could re-evaluate this bug as it relates to the OBJECT element. If it turns out I'm wrong about this, please zap the keyword and restore severity "enhancement".
Severity: enhancement → normal

I suspect this depends on bug 43556. Can anyone confirm?
