Recommends is too strong, but I think suggests would be
appropriate. The thing that separates mozplugger from the rest is that
it is useful in general for websurfers (eg making sites that open new
windows for PDFs) much more pleasant, without requiring a bunch
different plugins. If gnash gets in a good state I think we should
suggest it as well. 

While the above extensions are certainly useful, they're all more
geared towards web developers or power users.
