Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050429 Firefox/1.0+ 1. Create a new profile and start firefox with it. 2. Go to http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/welcome/ 3. Note that additional plugins are required to display all the media on this page. 4. Choose to install Flash. (Bottom plugin placeholder) 5. Next > I Agree > Next. Download of plugin starts. Progress bar rises. 6. Download completes. Click Finish. 7. Page reloads itself. Note that flash is not installed, and the animation playing that should show that Flash has installed is still the plugin placeholder inviting you to install Flash. Plugin Installation works with the Official 20050429 nightly build, but fails with a beast build after this, so bug 292114 is not to blame (lesson learnt :))

In addition to the problems with Flash not being installed, none of my existing plugins are recongnized either. about:plugins shows, "No plug-ins are installed."

Checkins between 292114 and when I pulled my beast build: http://tinderbox.mozilla.org/bonsai/cvsquery.cgi?module=PhoenixTinderbox&date=explicit&mindate=1114779660

Hmm... There's really nothing in that range that should affect plugins.... If you're doing self-builds, can you narrow down when this broke? If not, I can try...

Sorry bz, when "I pulled my beast build" i meant "I downloaded my beast build." I don't build firefox myself, so I can't do anything wrt helping narrow the regression time down further.

From IRC Mossop said: The checkout for my build was 14:56 GMT and it has the problem Mossop said: You can narrow that down to http://tinderbox.mozilla.org/bonsai/cvsquery.cgi?module=PhoenixTinderbox&date=explicit&mindate=1114779660&maxdate=1114783140 Hope that helps.

From http://tinderbox.mozilla.org/bonsai/cvsquery.cgi?module=PhoenixTinderbox&date=explicit&mindate=1114779660&maxdate=1114783140 Two changes are WinCE (not part of normal builds) One is an Automated update from host egg One is a change for cairo/SVG And the last one is a change in mailnews. So could Tinderbox be lieing about (1) the times things landed (2) what landed ?

additional. Even if plugins were installed before (a bunch of dll's in /plugins/) , they are simply not registered by FF and about:plugins is empty

Ok I've done a build in the middle of those checkouts and it flash worked just fine. So the problem is one of dougt's checkings: http://tinderbox.mozilla.org/bonsai/cvsquery.cgi?module=PhoenixTinderbox&date=explicit&mindate=1114781520&maxdate=1114783140 Odd considering they are WinCE bits. Dave

mozilla/modules/plugin/base/src/Makefile.in -ifeq ($(OS_ARCH),WINNT) +ifneq (,$(filter WINNT WINCE,$(MOZ_WIDGET_TOOLKIT))) should that n (ifeq/ifneq) be there?

sorry, my fault. In modules/plugin/base/src/Makefile.in, ifneq (,$(filter WINNT WINCE,$(MOZ_WIDGET_TOOLKIT))) should read: ifneq (,$(filter WINNT WINCE,$(OS_ARCH))) That is to say: MOZ_WIDGET_TOOLKIT should be OS_ARCH, right?

could this bug be responsible for missing talkback in the current nightly? Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050501 BuildID 2005050105 is missing the talkback files: fullsoft.dll, master.ini, qfaservices.dll, qfaservices.xpt, talkback.cnt, talkback.exe, talkback.hlp, talkback-l10n.ini http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mozilla/nightly/2005-05-01-06-trunk/mozilla-i586-pc-msvc.zip filesize 10.945 KB or 10.6 MB windows explorer vs. properties, The preceding nightly had talkback, and this bug seems to be the only one which checked in a .in file.
