The Mozilla foundation writes code for an alternate reality where the 
version number of the VLC NPAPI plugin and the (Lib)VLC run-time have 
identical version numbers. Indeed (Lib)VLC version 2.0.0 has security 
issues. But that says nothing of version 2.0.0 of the VLC NPAPI plugin.

In other words, the bug lies within the version checks of the Mozilla 
browser.
