Ah, right. did not know this.
I had a look at the source to try to figure out how hard it would be
to change this. The source is in toolkit/mozapps/plugins/content/,
and it a xul plugin written in javascript.
pere at host:~/src/iceweasel-10.0.12esr$ ls ./toolkit/mozapps/plugins/content/
pluginFinderBinding.css pluginInstallerWizard.xul
pluginInstallerDatasource.js pluginProblemBinding.css
pluginInstallerService.js pluginProblemContent.css
pluginInstallerWizard.css pluginProblem.xml
pluginInstallerWizard.js
pere at host:~/src/iceweasel-10.0.12esr$
I guess this is the reason why it is talking to a http server, perhaps
it is hard to talk to local services from a XUL plugin? I do not know
much about XUL plugins nor able to code in JavaScript, so I am not
sure how to help here.
Perhaps the Ubuntu implementation is the most sensible way to do it?
