Description
Mozilla is going to stop doing an explicit search for Java plugins in Firefox 4 (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=506719)

Java plugin vendors should follow the registry-based solution outlined here:

https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Plugins/The_First_Install_Problem

We need add this registry keys for plugin2. Firefox 4 won't have the old oji plugin support. so there is no need for the oji plugin.

Comments
EVALUATION This need be done before firefox 4.0 ships.
