[Bug 1160453] [NEW] The "Plugin Finder Service" checking never ends on a live USB key

[Thibault D]

Public bug reported:

1. Create a live USB key with a 13.04 daily build.
2. Boot on it and click on "Try Ubuntu"
3. Wait for the desktop to show and connect to the Internet
4. Launch Firefox and go to http://www.youtube.com/
5. Firefox will prompt "Additional plugins are required to display all the media on this page"
6. Click on "Install Missing Plugins..."
7. Firefox will prompt a new window called "Plugin Finder Service" saying : 
- "Welcome to the Plugin Finder Service 2"
- "Firefox is now checking for available plugins..."

What happens : the Plugin Finder Service keeps running without finding anything,
What should happen : the Plugin Finder Service should find the plugin and install it, or prompt that it cannot find it.
