Either: | | - The installation should end with a screen saying "now restart Firefox" | or | - It should Just Work(TM). | | Gerv | | ** Affects: flashplugin-nonfree (Ubuntu) | Importance: Undecided | Status: New | We introduced the "Get Extensions" dialog to help you with this process. It sounds like you were using the Adobe Flash Extension Kit the one that shows up in top right corner of page.
the adobe flash detection kit prevents the plugin finder wizard to pop up and instead sends the user to flash site asking user to install it manually. We are working on a way to make the flash detection kit void but we have to see what flash and mozilla think before we can do this. As for the Firefox need to be restarted this is normal behavior and if you look in upper gnome panel if using gnome a light bulb looking icon will be there prompting user to restart Firefox. I will change this to a wish list bug and change the summary to fit just teh plugin finder ~ Status Confirmed ~ Importance Wishlist - -- Sincerely Yours, ~ John Vivirito https://launchpad.net/~gnomefreak https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JohnVivirito Linux User# 414246 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFILL4rqig4QTwcPCoRAol1AJ0eGegbdEKESIRv8Jx5BrSo8mkOQwCePDX0 MCY2ke0E/ns7hbmkhr9lBmE= =waiT -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Installing Macromedia flash player doesn't cause Flash to work immediately https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/230530 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
