225155 - Uninstalled plugins produce a dialog box that cannot be disabled

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 83754

(Firefox :: General, enhancement)

Description

[i-sys]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6b) Gecko/20031108 Firebird/0.7+
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6b) Gecko/20031108 Firebird/0.7+

Whenever MozFB wants to load a plugin that is not installed, a dialog box
stating that the plugin is not installed pops up, and there is no option to
disable this behavior. This is quite annoying sometimes, especially since MozFB
does not recognize the macromedia flash plugin at this time and a lot of sites
use flash for advertisements. Anyway, I think it would be a good idea to
introduce an option that disables these dialog boxes.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Don't install a plugin
2. Load a site that needs this plugin
Actual Results:  
A dialog box pops up.

Expected Results:  
Offer an option to disable this behavior, since it may be annoying.
