Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 229590

(Firefox :: File Handling, defect)

Description

[[e-mail]]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040626 Firefox/0.9.1

Macromedia Flash is the most common multimedia on the net. IE includes it I
believe, it would be a competitive advantage if users did not have to download
Flash player. Including Java Virtual Machine would be nice too. I don't know how
the licensing works out, but including these two plug-ins would be very useful
to a lot of people.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Download Firefox
2. Go to a site that requires Flash or Java VM
3. Downloadable plug has to be installed

Actual Results:  
Downloading a plug-in is required to view content that is very common on the web.

Expected Results:  
At least the Flash player should be automatically installed with Firefox.
