Fully Supported Browsers
* Apple Safari 4
* Google Chrome 4
* Mozilla Firefox 3.0+
* Opera 10.5

Limited Support
* Microsoft Explorer 7+

Actually, the current Fully Supported Browsers is Firefox 3.6+ only, because other browsers and the older version of Firefox don't expose navigator.plugins[id].version (See Bug 522585).

And, the page works with IE6 ;)

So the browser list should be:

Fully Supported Browsers
* Mozilla Firefox 3.6+

Limited Support
* Mozilla Firefox 3+
* Microsoft Explorer 6+
* Apple Safari 4+
* Google Chrome 4+
* Opera 10+

Personally I think that this whole list of works best in.... browser list can be dropped now. We have moved on a looooong way from these versions of the mentioned browser most, if not all, having even reached end of life so, I suggest we remove this part of plugincheck, shaving of a couple of bytes from the JS and making the page that little bit faster.

Anyone against that?

This bug wasn't fixed by that PR because the list from the original request wasn't updated on http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/more_info.html. That page is still in SVN, so it will need to be updated separately.

The bedrock changes should go live shortly.

Indeed, my changes was just for the new plugincheck
The new plugincheck page supports just about all the locales now and also, the more_info page has been retired so therefore, I am closing this as resolved/fixed.
