Actually, it tests if the image file already exists in ~/.npsqueak,
or if can be installed from the system directory (SYSTEM_IMG_DIR
which is configured to be /usr/lib/squeak/...). If neither of the two
is found, the plugin image is not installed correctly, so we are
redirected to the failureURL.

... which will fail if it cannot find the image either. But at that
point it is to late, we cannot redirect the browser to the plugin
download page (failureURL).

That's because it removes essential functionality.
You might check what SYSTEM_IMG_DIR is on your install and if there
is a plugin image file actually installed there.
