Attached patch Patch v. 1.0Splinter Review
Page Info should preview object elements in addition to embed elements.

This will partially fix Bug 453703 (for the <object> svg case).  This patch requires much of the code in Bug 515549, so I have submitted it for the moment with that code as well.  When it lands, I will update the patch.

Patch v. 1.0

Don't forget that an <object> may have <param> tags inside of it that tell the plugin what to do. They'll have to be cloned and added to the iframe as well, otherwise the preview probably won't match what the user sees on the original page.
Since the work on Bug 515549 is put on hold for design discussions with User Experience.  I don't have time to work on this, and I am unassinging myself from the bug.  There is a possibility that in the future, I will work on this again, but it would be quite some time before I do.

I don't think object tags are used much these days now that we don't support plugins anymore.

Why the plugin support is relevant? object tags can load images without relying on plugins.
