Details
There's been some discussion of capturing info about plugins unknown to PFS2. This data could help us discover and catalog plugins for the service.
The capture could be done by logging the query params for the service. This could probably be done in the access log with a request to an image, or it could be done to an active script accepting and processing the params. There might also be a way to get the data from metrics.

Current behavior:
An unknown plugin:

A newer version is on the browser:

Maybe we should include more context? version, os, ???

Definitely version - that's one thing that's near undiscoverable with enough accuracy, save installing the plugin and running the detection JS. OS would be good too. Basically, all the parameters sent to the service would be good to have, along with the version

> Test Plug-in version=
This is probably the test plugin from our tree:
http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/modules/plugin/test/testplugin/
We don't actually ship it anywhere, but if you run a build you make from the objdir you'd have it installed.
