[Bug 263435]

[Cl-bugs-new2]

As far as I can tell from several years of following this bug, the
problem is that The Powers That Be at MoCo have failed to come to a
decision as to what, exactly, the "right" behaviour is.

It's not at all clear that
https://wiki.mozilla.org/Plugins:AdvancedKeyHandling , linked in comment
269, is still the current plan, and it's VERY clear that such a plan
does _absolutely nothing_ to address existing versions of plug-ins. I do
not believe -- and most of the saner commenters here seem to agree --
that a solution requiring third-party vendors to release new versions of
their plug-ins is a viable one. The fix needs to be made in Gecko
itself. The problem is convincing Firefox drivers that this "advanced
key handling" spec is a non-starter.
