{{FeaturePageBody | |||
|Feature overview=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. | |||
|Feature 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 | |||
