Asynchronous initialization of NPAPI plugins is enabled by default on 
desktop Aurora 39. It is controlled by the dom.ipc.plugins.asyncInit pref.

Since this feature is not yet 100% e10s compatible, the Aurora channel 
is the first time that the feature is seeing widespread deployment. 
Because of this, there has already been some fallout that I am fixing in 
bug 1149358.

If there are any other lingering issues, they are probably going to be 
observed during plugin instantiation. If you notice anything and need to 
file a bug, please cc me and file it blocking bug 1116806 (alias 
asyncplugininit).
