(Get the code!)
I did some more investigating... I think this is essentially the same as bug
127963, which has been marked a duplicate of bug 96579, whose summary is
completely misleading.
Mozilla sometimes decides what to do with embedded objects too early (before
downloading the HTTP headers). The issue is (therefore) not limited to plugins
-- Mozilla has considerable problems with embedded internally-handled types like
text/html and image/gif when they have unusual file extensions.
Note that the correct logic depends on whether you think bug 95549 should be
fixed or not. (Personally I do not think it should be -- that would be a
disaster.) If it *is* fixed, then Mozilla will effectively ignore all TYPE
attributes for documents retrieved via HTTP.
