      Platform: windows
      Browser: Mozilla Firefox version 1.0 Preview Release

      Problem:
      -------
      When users load a J2SE 5.0 specific demonstration applet, Firefox's Plugin Finder Service shows the only available Plugin download which is "Sun Java v1.4.2_05". It does not detect that the applet is specific to Tiger (application/x-java-applet;jpi-version=1.5)


      Steps to reproduce:
      ------------------

      1) Making sure that your test windows machine does not have j2re 1.5
      2) Using Firefox- v1 PR to load any 1.5 specific applet at
         http://java.sun.com/products/plugin/1.5.0/demos/plugin/applets.html

      Firefox's Plugin Finder Service displays the only available Plugin download which is "Sun Java v1.4.2_05". This is not a correct behaviour since 1.5 is required to run the applet.

      This bug will affect our autodownload feature in Firefox.
