Win32 WebKit-r34578
Unlike the Netscape WMP 6.4 plugin from <http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=99655624-ca38-49b7-a701-93f5f0e501dd&displaylang=en>, the Firefox WMP plugin from <http://port25.technet.com/pages/windows-media-player-firefox-plugin-download.aspx> doesn't need Javascript to work.
For example, the following works in Firefox with Javascript turned off.
<object type="application/x-ms-wmp" width="300" height="300">
<param name="URL" value="file.mp3">
</object>
However, in Webkit, if you turn JS off, you get a dead plugin window. This should not happen and Javascript should not be required for all types the FF WMP plugin says it supports.
One possible solution: When loading np-mswmp.dll (or whatever it might be named as), check the description and supported mime types to see that you really have the Firefox WMP plugin. If so, set a js_not_required flag or something. That way, you can still require JS for the old plugin and not require JS for the new one.

NPAPI plugin and Webkit plugins ae not supported anymore. Can this be marked as "RESOLVED WONTFIX"? Thanks!
