Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 264282

(Toolkit Graveyard :: Plugin Finder Service, enhancement)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040911 Firefox/0.10.1

Currently, if I visit such a page which needs a plugin (such as the supplied URL
- on my system anyway!), Firefox puts up the missing plugin bar giving me the
opportunity to install a plugin. In this case, it cannot find one. That's not
really too much of an issue, as I understand this is being improved for 1.0
final anyway. The issue is that there is no indication of what plugin is needed,
even if I click on the 'Install Missing Plugin...' button and go through the
wizard. This mean I can't easily go and locate the plugin and download and
install it myself. I think this will be important even once some plugins are
added to the plugin download service, as they can never all be available!

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:




Expected Results:  
Some indication of what plugin was needed should have be given, preferably in
the original missing plugin bar.

Firefox 0.10.1 on Windows XP
