Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 83754

(Core Graveyard :: Plug-ins, defect)

Description

[Joshua Goldberg]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; SunOS sun4u; en-US; rv:1.3b) Gecko/20030211

I don't have a java plug-in.

Every time I move to a different page on the site I referenced, which uses java,
I get the pop-up, "This page contains... of type application/x-java-vm.  Click
to download OK/Cancel", and have to click away the new window.

There should be a way to not be asked about a particular plug-in installation
ever again, like the way cookie permissions work, or encryption warnings in
other browsers.




Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have a Mozilla build without a given plugin
2. Load a page with that plug-in (and click cancel to not load it.)
3. Do it again.

Actual Results:  
pop-up

Expected Results:  
just load the page, ignoring the data that requires the plugin
