When I click on the "Play game" button in Mozilla, two windows pop up, one being
the actual program, a second stating that the latest update of the WildTangent
Game Channel needs to be installed, when it already has been installed. This
does not happen elsewhere.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Click on the Play Game button.
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
The two windows pop up, one being the actual program, the other stating that
WildTangent needs to be updated.

Expected Results:  
Mozilla should have not had a window stating that WildTangent Game Channel needs
to be updated, when it already has.

The plugin is WildTangent GameChannel Web Driver v. 1.5.

The page is trying to start a plugin for 'application/x-wildtangent-host'. Is
this mime type listed in about:plugins? If not, try to locate the plugin DLL and
copy it to your plugins folder. It will likely start with 'np'. You can get more
debug information by running with: 
set NSPR_LOG_MODULES=Plugin:8,PluginNPN:8,PluginNPP:8,nsHTTP:5
and 
set NSPR_LOG_FILE=c:\log.txt

WildTanget is not teir1 plugin vendor. Please ensure you have the NP*.DLL in
your plugins folder.
