            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2

Chrome guys suggested me to report this issue here. The original issue of Chromium: http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=76351

A "hidden" NPAPI plugin is loaded by the code below:

  <object type="application/x-my-extension" id="pluginId" hidden="true">

It worked in Chrome 9, but not in Chrome 10. However, if we remove the attribute "hidden", it works in Chrome 10. Is it a bug or by design ?

Tested under Chrome 10
* LOADED     - <embed  type="application/x-my-extension" id="pluginId">
* LOADED     - <embed  type="application/x-my-extension" id="pluginId" hidden="true">
* LOADED     - <embed  type="application/x-my-extension" id="pluginId" hidden="false">
* LOADED     - <object type="application/x-my-extension" id="pluginId">
* NOT LOADED - <object type="application/x-my-extension" id="pluginId" hidden="true">
* NOT LOADED - <object type="application/x-my-extension" id="pluginId" hidden="false">
