** Description changed: [Impact] browser-plugin-freshplayer-pepperflash prevents sites which require Flash from working with the latest versions of Firefox. If you select "Ask to Activate" in FF, the contents requiring Flash is not shown. If you select "Always Activate", the tab with the page requiring Flash simply crashes. Issue identified via <https://askubuntu.com/q/1048357>. A "no change rebuild" does not help. The proposed version in the PPA fixes the issue, so the wrapper works as intended also with the latest FF version. https://launchpad.net/~gunnarhj/+archive/ubuntu/freshplayerplugin This suggests an upgrade to a newer upstream version. This is the upstream changelog: 2017-12-23 Rinat Ibragimov <ibragimovri...@mail.ru> - * release v0.3.9 - * network: stop using files with NPN_PostURL + * release v0.3.9 + * network: stop using files with NPN_PostURL 2017-12-09 Rinat Ibragimov <ibragimovri...@mail.ru> - * release: v0.3.8 - * misc: add NPN_PluginThreadAsyncCall emulation for Firefox 58 + * release: v0.3.8 + * misc: add NPN_PluginThreadAsyncCall emulation for Firefox 58 2017-05-31 Rinat Ibragimov <ibragimovri...@mail.ru> - * release: v0.3.7 - * graphics: add more fullscreen _NET_WM controls - * misc: drop libpdf wrapper - * misc: drop NaCl wrapper - * misc: search for PepperFlash in Chrome component update - directories + * release: v0.3.7 + * graphics: add more fullscreen _NET_WM controls + * misc: drop libpdf wrapper + * misc: drop NaCl wrapper + * misc: search for PepperFlash in Chrome component update + directories 2016-10-05 Rinat Ibragimov <ibragimovri...@mail.ru> - * release: v0.3.6 - * graphics: fix off-by-one pixel issue in fullscreen scaling - mode - * graphics: try to flicker less - * misc: use ICU for character set conversion, use WhatWG - canonical encoding name conversion - * misc: guess default character encoding from locale name - * misc: guess GTK+ major version at run time + * release: v0.3.6 + * graphics: fix off-by-one pixel issue in fullscreen scaling + mode + * graphics: try to flicker less + * misc: use ICU for character set conversion, use WhatWG + canonical encoding name conversion + * misc: guess default character encoding from locale name + * misc: guess GTK+ major version at run time Admittedly it includes a few minor improvements, but hopefully this can still pass as an SRUable microrelease (or something...).
