 Small thing but it's a bit confusing for screen reader users. Seems it
 happens just with Firefox + NVDA. When navigating through the Plugins
 table, the description header and all the description cells get announced
 as "clickable" elements. See in the screenshot below, where the "NVDA
 Speech Viewer" reports the text being announced.

 As far as I see, there's a delegated click event needed to open the
 thickbox Plugin details popup that causes this. Simply delegating on the
 `plugin-description` div instead of the table cells fixes this, as the
 `div` doesn't get announced by screen readers.
