User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.1) Gecko/20020914 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.1) Gecko/20020914 When visiting a page containing content that requires a plugin to be accessed (e.g. Flash, midi files, Java) the browser prompts the user to install the plugin. The options are OK and Cancel. The user might not want to install the plugin (e.g. midi files are usually just irritating) but the prompt appears with each visit to a page that uses the content type that demands the plugin. To deal with this I suggest a third option be added to the prompt - "Never install a plugin for this content type". A pane in preferences should allow blocked content types to be unblocked. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Visit page containing content that requires a plugin which is not installed 2. Click "Cancel" to the install plugin prompt 3. Visit another page containing similar content 4. Goto 2 Actual Results: Repeated prompts to install the plugin Expected Results: Offered me the choice to never see the prompt for that content type again unless I explicitly removed the block in preferences.
