Comment (by brade):

 A quick follow up: On Linux, Mark and I did not see the prompt because no
 plugins were actually installed on our Linux system in a place where Tor
 Browser could find them. After we set plugins.load_appdir_plugins = true
 and placed libflashplayer.so in tor-browser_en-
 US/Browser/browser/plugins/, the prompt was correctly displayed (a side
 note: I am not sure where Tor Browser looks for plugins by default; it did
 not load libflashplayer.so when we placed it in
 /usr/lib64/firefox/browser/plugins).

 Should we file a new ticket, e.g., "plugin warning not displayed if no
 plugins available"?
