1. Our page tries to install plugin on onload event. I know that does not work in new versions of firefox, but works in older mozilla based browsers and saves users from having to bother with manual installation of plugin.
2. If that fails, we are displaying a link that user must click to install plugin (in firefox plugin installation must be user initiated). This way we are handling older browsers (the easy way), and new browsers (little harder way, extra click from user)
3. But then page whitelisting goes into equation - if our page is not whitelisted we see message "to protect your computer firefox prevented this site from installing software on your computer".
User can click "Edit", add the site to white list and ... nothing happens, the page IS NOT RELOADED. What's more we don't get to Step 2 :( When user closes the window, opens it again (effectively user reloads page, this time whitelisted) then we reach to step 2, user clicks link and everything start working. But how is the user supposed to know that page should be reloaded? The reasonable expectation is that he/she whitelists the page and then it all starts working.
In IE with XP SP2, changing page whitelist causes complete reload of page (afaik they even flush any existing caches for some security reasons), Firefox does not do that ... Is there any way to work around it? (like reload in "onwhitelist" event?).
