Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041001 Firefox/0.10.1

my school uses lotus notes for the school email.  i am able to check my mail on
firefox, however, none of the menu bars load inside of the page (the "compose",
"send", etc buttons). firefox tells me there is a plugin needed to view the full
content on the page.  when i click to download the missing plugin, it searchs,
then tells me there isn't a suitable one for the program.

currently, i am running windows xp, sp2. i have firefox 5.0

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. go to www.eaur.wnyric.org, click "email"
2. log in with my username
3. no menu bars show up for email
4. when i click the "install missing pluggins", it searches for the plugins to
download.
5. no plugins are found and there still are no buttons on the page.
Actual Results:  
there weren't any buttons.. 

Expected Results:  
the plugin should've been found, downloaded, installed, and i should be able to
not have to change to another browser just to check my school mail.

you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.
