It works on Windows. I'll reboot into OS X and try it there.

Georg, can you please retest this now that bug 1123916 has landed?

Comment 4

[Georg Fritzsche [:gfritzsche]]

Now it's broken independent of async plugin init.
It is working fine in non-e10s windows though.

I can't reproduce this in today's mozilla-central nightly.  I first had to explicitly allow Facebook to "always" launch Flash.  After that I had no problems.  I tested in e10s mode, and with dom.ipc.plugins.asyncInit set to "true" (after restarting).

> * A flash photo uploader should pop up

What, precisely, does this mean?  I saw a native filepicker (presumably from Firefox), entitled "Select file(s) to upload to fbstatic-a.akamaihd.net".  (I didn't actually do anything with the filepicker.  I just canceled out of it.)

I should mention that I tested on OS X 10.8.5, with a non-Retina display.

This turns out to be because I'd changed Flash to "always ask".  It doesn't happen with the default setting to "always activate" Flash.

Indeed, thats the Flash filepicker i mean (it is visibly from Flash and not natively from Firefox on retina because its low DPI on the high DPI screen).
It seems to have started working in the last two or three weeks then, so closing WFM.
