[Bug 664130] [NEW] checkbox test assumes that default software is installed but that may not be the case

[Claude Asamoah]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox

1. checkbox test assumes that a default video player plugin has been installed when running the video.mov test. In some cases it has not been installed so you get an error but with an option to install a suitable plugin. once that is done the test passes
2.checkbox assumes that the java applet plugin is installed when running the firefox java applet test and in some cases it has not been installed so the test fails
