This issue seems to be a bug in Chrome, since it works in all other NPAPI 
browsers; the same issue has been reported using Chromium on Linux.  I 
recommend that you file a bug on Chrome that NPN_SetException is not working 
correctly.

see http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=26764#makechanges

I put a comment on the old issue, but a new one should probably be opened. I 
don't think there is anything we can do unless we can show somehow that this is 
a FireBreath bug, which all tests seem to indicate it is not.

Do you think it would be ok / useful to ask the FireBreath community to go vote 
for the Chromium issue?

I don't have a problem with that.

Marking this as invalid, since we can't do anything about it.
