Driveby comment: it might be more efficient to have a content script listening for the PluginBindingAttached event we fire, instead of checking every object in every document. See toolkit/mozapps/plugins/content/pluginProblem.xml and browser/base/content/browser-plugins.js for how this works in-browser.

Definitely. And this probably should fix bug #3 at the same time.
