There used to be a bugzilla.mozilla.org product called "Plugins". This product has been renamed "External Software Affecting Firefox" and its component structure has been greatly simplified.
It is usually not helpful to track defects in 3rd-party software in the Mozilla bug tracker. The only time we want to track those defects is when we want to make explicit outreach efforts because those defects affect Firefox users. There were previously almost a hundred different "components" for fine classification of these bugs. This was not producing good results and caused confusion for many people filing bugs. So I've asked for most of these components to be retired, and now there will be just three components: "Flash (Adobe)" - for bugs in Adobe Flash. I am triaging this list and working with Adobe when necessary. "OpenH264" - I believe Maire Reavy's team triages this component for bugs that affect our deployment of OpenH264 with Cisco. "Other" - For defects in basically all other 3rd-party software, including other NPAPI and GMP plugins, Firefox extensions, and other software such as antivirus tools, that may affect Firefox. I am triaging these bugs as necessary. --BDS _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
