1078748 - Webmaker claims my Flash is outdated (but it's not even installed)

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

I just switched to a new laptop, and am trying to avoid installing Flash.

Visiting https://mconley.makes.org/popcorn/2bwm gives a big red warning that my Flash is out dated:

"Your web browser has an outdated Flash plugin. Flash media may not function as expected. Check your plugin version using Mozilla's plugin checking service. Click here to remove this warning."

But it can't be outdated, because it's not even installed. I'm guessing whatever library is checking incorrectly handles the no-flash-installed case.

[The page otherwise seems to work just fine without Flash.]

I think this stems from when we were forced to use Youtube's flash player. I guess we can get rid of that alert, or maybe make it something you can ignore.
