Public bug reported: Since the update to Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty Tahr, ShockWave Flash files are not open in a web browser anymore. Indeed, when I clicking on it or when I use the Open with > "Name_of_one_brother" entry of the contextual menu, the browser open a download dialogue box instead of opening the file. The only way to launch the animation is to include it in a HTML file using an EMBED element. I actually have flasplugin-installer 11.2.202.291ubuntu0.13.04.1 installed on my computer and I use Mozilla Firefox 29.0. According to http://forum.ubuntu-fr.org/viewtopic.php?id=1531681 , it seems that problem affect several users.
