Basically, this boils down to a Plugin API issue that needs to be dealt with with all parties in the same boat. The platform team told me a short while back that they're working on a solution, but some of this may happen sort of behind the scenes, working and evangelizing with the plugin vendors to sort out the details and get this issue finally addressed. @Martin As you can see from the sheer number of comments on bug 78414 alone, and the number of dupes it has, this is much more complicated than just Flash content.

I made a mental note to myself to ping you about that when it got checked in, but I got distracted by other work I was assigned to and it slipped out of my mind. I'll try not to let it happen again.
