I request a new feature for debian Iceseasel, the idea is that Iceweasel to install plugins as flashplayer, java plugin etc from packages available in repositories and not downloading directly
the binaries from its web site.
When a web page warn about a missing plugin needed to show it right, A list with the related plugins available in repositories should be presented, and the user could choose one of them to be
installed, then using gnome-app-install or something similar, the debian package should be downloaded and installed.

Ubuntu 8.04 already has this feature with Firefox 3b5, i suggest port it to Debian and Iceweasel 3.

Tell me if you need more information please.
Thanks you for reading.
