VLC plug-in not working in recent Firefox on Mac OS X

The VLC plugin does not work on Firefox (Firefox 8) on Mac OS X. It is reproducible on any Mac OS X computer with newest Firefox. Editing the plugin's Info.plist corrects the bug.

The XML, that needs to be added to Info.plist, looks like this:

<key>WebPluginMIMETypes</key>
       <dict>
               <key>application/x-vlc-plugin</key>
               <dict>
                       <key>WebPluginExtensions</key>
                       <array>
                               <string>mp4</string> <!--this can probably be deleted-->
                       </array>
                       <key>WebPluginTypeDescription</key>
                       <string>VLC plugin</string>
               </dict>
       </dict>
       <key>WebPluginName</key>
       <string>VLC plugin</string> <!--this is not needed either, but without it, the plugin just shows as "1.0.5" without a name-->

With this added info to the .plist, the plugin works flawlessly. (It is needed to remove the plugin, restart firefox, add plugin, restart firefox.)
