Bug Description

When firefox render a web-page with embedded midi files, like http://www.danapannell.com/BEATLES/ it display 'click here to install missing plugins'. But that click does not give any solution or plugin. After long time searching the internet, I finally came to the solution that firefox first of all need to install Java!
Why could not this be automatically solved, and spare me for much time and maybe needless installations of other programs like realplayer, timidity and other?
It seems easy for firefox to know if it has java or not.
