My Orion workspace has the HTML5 Local File System plugin installed (I typically use Chrome).  I went to try this same Orion instance in IE10 and the following happened on the Navigator page:

- IE showed a "Only secured content is being displayed" notification (IE doesn't seem to like Orion's plug-in mechanism by default)
- press its "Show All Content" button to re-load the page with plug-ins enabled
- page reloaded, Orion showed a "Error: plug-in activation error" notification, which is good (IE doesn't like something about this plug-in, fine)
- however the Navigator page was then left just showing "Loading" (screenshot attached)

A plug-in that fails to activate should not render the whole page unusable, the bad plug-in should just be omitted.

The file system commands on the Shell page are affected by this too, though the page does come up and non-FS commands work fine.
