Fixed Patch to Remove 4.x Plug-in Directory Filter

You also need to remove the "isUnwantedPlugin" function. It is no longer used with your patch.

fix v1.4

Looks good to me and applies cleanly on trunk.

I think we should just go ahead and remove all of the 4x dir scanning code in one go, not just the filter. I don't think its even turn on for trunk.
Actually, a filtered scan is the default. However, I don't think we want any plugin that would actually be in that dir to load in Firefox 5, even among the ones our filter allowed. They'd probably be incredibly old.
Attached patch fix v1.5 (obsolete) — Splinter Review
Adds removal of the whole 4.x scan to Scott's patch. I checked for entries on a few Windows machines, nothing there, and I'm pretty sure we don't want any plugins old enough to actually be installed via the 4.x entries.
