To reproduce, run Firefox without Flash installed in a site that requires it
(e.g. visualxtreme.com), click Install Missing Plugins, then Next. Note that in
the Plugin Licenses screen that opens, there are two radio buttons ("I agree..."
vs. "I do not agree..."), neither of them has an access-key.

Bug 836415 has now removed the Plugin Finder Service (PFS) from Firefox. As a result, I'm closing all the remaining PFS bugs.

If you're getting this bugmail for an ancient PFS bug, the basic summary of the world today is:

* NPAPI plugins are a dying technology
* PFS was already restricted to assisting with only the 4 most common plugins
* Sites commonly provide their own UI for install a required plugin
* Mozilla is generally focusing on  improving the web platform so that proprietary plugins are not required.

(Note that "plugins" are a completely separate from "browser extensions", such at those found on addons.mozilla.org. The latter are not going anywhere, and are not impacted by the removal of PFS.)
