Description
jre uninstaller does not remove dlls from the browser plugins directory.
The problem is reproducible on all windows.
It's a regression starting from 5.0u2 (it's not reproducible with 5.0u1)
How to reproduce:
1. Install jre from:
/net/koori/onestop/jdk/1.5.0_02/latest/bundles/windows-i586
/net/koori/onestop/jdk/1.5.0_03/latest/bundles/windows-i586
2. Remove jre using Add/Remove Programs
3. Check C:/Program Files/mozilla.org/Mozilla/plugins dir
Results:
plugin dll's are present

Expected results:
plugin dll's should be removed

The bug should be fixed prior the autoupdate 1.4.2_0x --> 5.0u2
Otherwise, plugin fails with 1.4.2_0x after 5.0u2 is removed from the system.
