Flash detection not working

[jxp]

I have just tested Shumway on a site and saw no flash content.
This was caused by the site using a Flash detection script that checked

navigator.plugins["Shockwave Flash"].description 

to ensure a compatible version of Flash could be found.

I'm not sure what can be done about this as the plugins collection is read-only. The only thing that leaps to mind is having a dummy plug-in that has a name of Shockwave Flash, but that seems messy

bug 867626 has been resolved incomplete, should this bug be reopened? having sites refuse to load swf files somewhat limits shumway as a flash alternative
