Loading http://www.w3.org/Math/XSL/pmathml.xsl makes Firefox show an infobar saying "Additional plugins are required to display all the media on this page." This is incorrect; adding plugins would not affect how this XSL stylesheet is displayed! (The root element is in the "http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" namespace.)

What build of firefox?
I can reproduce this using the testcase in today's windows trunk build, but not in today's windows 1.8 branch build.

Bug 836415 has now removed the Plugin Finder Service (PFS) from Firefox. As a result, I'm closing all the remaining PFS bugs. If you're getting this bugmail for an ancient PFS bug, the basic summary of the world today is: * NPAPI plugins are a dying technology * PFS was already restricted to assisting with only the 4 most common plugins * Sites commonly provide their own UI for install a required plugin * Mozilla is generally focusing on improving the web platform so that proprietary plugins are not required. (Note that "plugins" are a completely separate from "browser extensions", such at those found on addons.mozilla.org. The latter are not going anywhere, and are not impacted by the removal of PFS.)
