42040 - Plugins initialized twice during Mozilla startup?

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 39534

(Core Graveyard :: Plug-ins, defect, P3)

Description

[Christian Mattar]

Out of curiosity I watched Mozilla starting up with a file monitor,
which monitors the access to the harddrive. Could it be possible that
plugins are initialized twice during startup (at least those that reside
in the NS4.x plugin directory)? I've attached a zipped log-file, which I
stripped down to the interesting part.

This was monitored in build 2000060720.

This bug has been marked "future" because the original netscape engineer working 
on this is over-burdened. If you feel this is an error, that you or another 
known resource will be working on this bug,or if it blocks your work in some way 
-- please attach your concern to the bug for reconsideration.

Christian, are you able to set a breakpoint at
http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/modules/plugin/nglsrc/nsPluginHostImpl.c
pp#2408 to see if LoadPlugins() is being called twice?
It seems to be working properly for me but I do have a few patches to 
nsPluginHostImpl.cpp that aren't in the tree yet.

Sorry, but I'm no developer :(

Does your build run with the stdout console trace statements?
If so, do you see lines that say "plugins at"?
There should only be one that has the 4x plugin directory and one other that has 
the mozilla plugins directory.

Sorry, I don't have a debug build, only the optimized from mozilla.org

Do you have any files named np*.dll in your nn4x plugins directory that don't 
have Version information (check by right-clicking the each np*.dll in Windows 
explorer, selecting the Properties menuitem and seeing if there is a Version 
tab on the properties window that comes up)?

This might be related to http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=39534.

Yes, it seems that I somehow messed up the installation of your beatnik player 
:).
I removed the 0 byte files and the problem didn't appear anymore.

Marking as DUP of 39534.
