The specified website has the JavaScript below. Although I don't have Flash
player installed, the placeholder for Flash appears. Maybe the script is wrong,
but I don't know.

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
						if (navigator.mimeTypes &&
navigator.mimeTypes["application/x-shockwave-flash"]){
				            document.write('<EMBED src="./img/swf/welcome.swf"
quality="high" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"  WIDTH="194" HEIGHT="39" NAME="welcome"
ALIGN="" TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash"
PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"></EMBED>');
				        } else {
				        	document.write('<img src="./img/header/welcome.gif" WIDTH="194"
HEIGHT="39" border="0">');
				        }
				    </script>

Reproducible: Always

I'd guess this goes in Core / JavaScript Engine.

However, the script should probably use
navigator.mimeTypes["application/x-shockwave-flash"].enabledPlugin
rather than just
navigator.mimeTypes["application/x-shockwave-flash"]

Bug 58811 changed this .mimetypes object. Use navigator.plugins to check for
plugins.
