Gecko:Moving Plugins To Content

bug 90268

Christian Biesinger <cbiesinger@web.de> will probably work on this

Steps:

• Move nsPluginInstanceOwner to its own file
  • Make it implement a new interface nsPIPluginInstanceOwner which has all the methods needed for objectframe<->instanceowner communication
  • Extend nsIObjectFrame with methods the instance owner needs to call (if any)
  • Make the instance owner own a content node rather than a frame (probably)
• ...

Plugins without frames

What should happen with plugins that have no frame?

Possibilities, that I can think of right now:

• They have a widget that's clipped to an empty rect
• They have no widget. NPP_SetWindow is called with something that indicates no window (NULL window arg, or null aWindow->window, whatever)
