If I click "Cancel" and wait a bit, it appears again. And again. And again. It stops only if I manage to quickly close the window after clicking Cancel but before it appears again. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Open the page and wait for it to load Actual Results: An infinite amount of Default Plugin dialogs Expected Results: Only one Default Plugin dialog per content type per page My build is a .sea one from mozillazine, in case it makes any difference.

dup *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 59936 ***

No, this is *not* a dupe of 59936. Bug 59936 is about the dialog not closing when you click OK; this bug is about the dialog reappearing after clicking Cancel, an *infinite* (well, at least 30+) number of times. In bug 59936, clicking 'Cancel' is enough to make things fine; in this one, you have to close the *window* which is generating the dialogs to make them go away (since Cancel only opens a new one). I'm trying to reopen (don't know if I can)

how about bug 57455..

Probably not. That one is about reloads triggered by resizes trying to reload the plugin; this one is about something on that page that is continuously respawning the plugin. The only thing similar in both is the workaround: make a default plugin dialog appear only once per full reload per contenty type per page. The true solution for 57455 would be for the default plugin to check for reloads caused by resizing and not show itself in that case; the true solution here would be to find what is causing the infinite plugin reload loop (I can see only one applet there, and no reason for it to reload at all).

I suspect it is a dup of bug 57455 -- I think we have situations where animated GIFs trigger additional reflows (see bug 60880), which trigger the plugin dialog.

I noticed something. Every damn link from this page goes to a page with some applets embedded. So, of course, with each occurance of a page with missing plugin, the defaul plugin will pop up asking the user to download the plugin. I do not see the default plugin dialog pop up more than once if I go to the url above and *just stay there*. Marking this bug INVALID.

"INVALID"? INVALID should be for things that are not bugs, right? Well, this was a bug. The dialog appeared infinite times if you just sit there. Hardly INVALID. And yes, it does not appear anymore as of 2000121112. The right answer is WORKSFORME. I'll try to change it.

Marking WORKSFORME.
