Probe for browser plugins with versions #11

Sorted before collection. Microsoft Internet Explorer offers no way to enumerate plugins; we used the PluginDetect JavaScript library to check for 8 common plugins on that platform, plus extra code to estimate the Adobe Acrobat Reader version.

In Firefox 29 and later, enumeration of the navigator.plugins array may be restricted as a privacy measure. Applications that must check for the presence of a browser plugin should query navigator.plugins or navigator.mimeTypes by exact name instead of enumerating the navigator.plugins array and comparing every plugin's name. This privacy change does not disable any plugins; it just hides some plugin names from enumeration.
