Him , 
during the first 6 Firefox installations I used the auto plug-in finder service
and it worked fine.

Today I installed four more Firefox 1.0 and the plug-in finder services isn't
working anymore. There is some explanation for that?

best regards

Carlos


Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1.After the installations I  tried to access site http://www.ajato.com.br and
the Firefox asked for additional plugin , I clicked to install it  and the
plugin finder service stay open for more than 5 minutes and nothing happens, so
I installed the Flash plugin manually.
2.Same happens for others sites and plugins

Please follow the following:
- load about:config in the urlbar and press enter
- filter by "javascript.options.showInConsole"
- right click on the result and choose "toggle" to set its value to true
- Go to a site with the issue and run the plugin finder.
- Go to tools -> JavaScript Console and report any errors listed there.
