    protocol-handler.

  * fix "New plugins only recognized _after_ restarting firefox"; the gecko
    1.9 plugin host doesn't scan plugin directories automatically for
    previously not available mime-types and extensions anymore. This fix
    assures that the browser receives a NewPluginInstalled through the
    tabbrowser.selectedBrowser by registering a special listener before
    starting the plugin installer wizard. After plugins are properly installed
    we remove that listener again.
    - add debian/patches/bzXXX_reload_new_plugins.patch
    - update debian/patches/series
