318701 - Show requested MIME type for missing plugins

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 264282

(Toolkit Graveyard :: Plugin Finder Service, defect)

Description

[Tobias Burnus]

Currently, one can not easily find out which plugin is needed.

Currently, one has (shortend texts)
a) (at the place of the plugin)
"Click here to download the plugin"

b) yellow bar at the top
"Plugins are needed [download]"

c) (plugin finder)
"Unknown plugin [manual install]"

Expected:
(a) If there is space, in the plugin frame:
"Mime-Type: foo/bar"

(b) Unknown plugin [manual install]
    Mime-Type: foo/bar

Reasoning:
For some types one knows that there is no suitable plugin (e.g. Windows only plugins for Linux) - or that one does not want to have that plugin (for what ever reason). Currently, one has to browse either the html source or find the right item in the page info. Both can be cumbersome on pages with lot of embedded media.
