Description
Our JFB customer, Electronic Arts, uses our detection script to check the mimetype list for an installed plugin. However, the Sun Java plugin install does not add an entry to that list.

I did a quick test on Safari 4.0 / 6u20 to access http://j2se.east/www/tests/getjava/browser/f0.html, I saw ver = undefinied. It is working fine in chrome and FF.

As per CR#6877996 and CR#6824755, there was a fix to address chrome and opera.

Please help to include the fix for Safari
