== Summary ==
Our current experience when a plugin is missing is pretty abysmal, and rarely works for anything else than a very small set of plugins. We want to fix the experience for the small set of plugins that have a lot of users, and stop pretending to supply an auto-detect service for the others.
== Team ==
* '''Feature Manager''': Justin Dolske
* '''Lead Developer''':
* '''Product Manager''':
* '''QA''': AndreiD (irc: andreid)
* '''UX''': Alex Limi
* '''Accessibility''':
* '''Security''':
* '''Privacy''':
== Release Requirements ==
* Ability to detect and point to relevant locations for the major plugins
* Mozilla needs to host permanent redirect URLs for this, so we can change quickly, should downstream providers suddenly change their URLs or similar
* It should be possible to say "Don't ask me to install this plugin again"
* We should never imply that installing a plugin is absolutely necessary for the browser to function (like we kind of do today), but rather that plugins are required for certain types of content
* We should label which plugins you'll end up downloading/installing in the location where we show the "Missing Plugin" message. Right now, you don't know until you go ahead and start the process
* We want to stop using Plugin Finder Service, and instead hardcode the small list of plugins we care about to simplify the code and maintenance burden
== Designs ==
== Next Steps & Open Issues ==
* Get estimates from Justin
* Identify the list of plugins we want to handle
== Related Bugs & Dependencies ==
== Risks ==
== Test Plans ==
== Goals ==
== Non-Goals ==
== Other Stuff ==
