If you put this into an inline function rather than a boolean local variable then you would not be evaluating it if beforeLoadAllowedLoad is true. In the current code you always evaluate this, even if you don't use its result. I think this needs a "why" comment in the code. It can be a brief one.

Is there a guarantee that frame->settings() can't be 0? What if we are in a frame after it is no longer connected to a page? Then frame->settings() will be 0. Are we guaranteed safe from that?

Seems OK, r=me

Darin, based on our conversation this morning, here is an updated patch that keys off the plug-in MIME type rather than the URL and works by lower-casing the plug-in parameters rather than falling back to the embed.

Since MIME types are not case sensitive it would be better to use equalIgnoringCase.

You’ll also need to update StringsNotToBeLocalized.txt to add this new non-localized string.
