Any site that requires a plug-in that the user does not
have currently installed. Since I have no idea which
plug-ins anyone else has installed, there is little
point in referring them to any specific URL. This
one (taken at random from Youtube) demonstrates the
problem on my machine; whether it would do the same
for those who already have the necessary plug-in
seems moot.

That one would be Flash.
So what does about:plugins show for you?
Mine shows:
Shockwave Flash
Java
Quicktime
DivX Web Player
VLC Multimedia
Windows Media Player
Help for installing plugins is available from

I'm sure Philip knows, as most of us do, how to install a particular
plugin. What he's concerned about -- and I have been, too -- is that
"Install plugin..." seems to be asking the user to write a blank check.
It doesn't say "learn more..." or something, it seems to want permission
to install some unnamed software with no understanding of its source or
nature. How many sane people will do that?
