Compatibility with Firefox 5 (patch included)

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Patch forwarded from Ubuntu, to fix compatibility with Firefox 5. Explanation 
of the patch : 

* Don't use any Mozilla interfaces at all. The only interfaces used
  previously were nsIPrefBranch and nsIPrefService to change a preference
  which configured the UA string to "QuickTime/7.6.4". This functionality
  is Firefox specific anyway, and so doesn't work in any Webkit based browser
  (Chromium, Epiphany, Midori etc). It also doesn't work in Firefox 4
  and later since the plugin is running in a separate process, where setting
  prefs in the plugin process has no effect on the browser process at all

  - see https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/desktop-o-mozilla-rapid-release-maintenance and

You don't say what version this patch applies to, but it appears that the 
majority of this patch is already in SVN. Version 1.0.3 and higher should work 
this way.

Sorry, the patch applies to version 1.0.2.
I will try the newest version to see if it's working, thanks.
