Bug description:
To provide proper integration with ubufox,

1. plugins that use update-alternatives mechanism should also put a link for their binary in

 /usr/share/ubufox/plugins/

and touch all /usr/lib/firefox-3.*/.autoreg that exist in .postinst.

2. All plugins should have a Description and Filename header added to the binary package control, like gnash:

Xb-Npp-Description: The GNU SWF Player (http://www.gnu.org/software/gnash/)
Xb-Npp-File: libgnashplugin.so

--------

When encountering a java plugin Firefox offers a confusing dialog:
it gives two options:
1. "GCJ Web Browser Plugin"
2. "The GCJ Web Browser Plugin"

the second options supposedly uses openjdk.

No descriptions are given whatsoever.
