Stage 1: Definition

1. Feature overview

If you change the display of an element that contains a plugin in such a way that the plugin element gets reframed, or if you move the DOM node around in the document, then we unload the plugin and reload it. That means that any state in the plugin is lost, like say, how far into the video you were etc. This is a problem with where we represent plugins inside of Gecko and is a huge amount of work to fix.
