Hello,

It seems that the NPAPI plugins which have the attribute hidden="true" in an 'embed' element are not loaded. 
1. Is this a new feature in firefox 22? 
2. What is the best solution/workaround for this?

P.S. This behaviour can be tested with the VLC plugin http://www.htmlcodetutorial.com/embeddedobjects/_EMBED_HIDDEN.html.
