Details

Full page plugins should be invoked when clicking on a file that a plugin has 
registered with mozilla that it supports.  

On Windows, the current implementation assumes that all file extensions that a 
user could click on have a setting in the windows registry that defines the 
mimetype.  That should be a last resort check.  The file types and mimetypes 
supported by installed plugins should be checked first.

To clarify, nsPluginHostImpl::IsPluginEnabledForExtension is not getting called.
