Attached patch Partial fix (deleted) — Splinter Review
In this case we hit a test where the plugin has no overlay: http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/annotate/85196889c598/browser/base/content/browser-plugins.js#l928 ... this *would* mean we show the bar for a short time, but when "PluginBindingAttached" is fired, we end up arond here with aShowNow=false: http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/annotate/85196889c598/browser/base/content/browser-plugins.js#l854 ... so we're not updating anything. This is changed by this partial fix. This still leaves the bar showing up for a bit though. It seems like we should move the check from bug 941714 to the CTP-event handling code, but that currently doesn't cover every situation (e.g. "block"->"allownow"->"block" doesn't trigger another event like "PluginBindingAttached").
