777341 - Provide information about which plugin will be loaded on click to play

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 754472

(Core Graveyard :: Plug-ins, defect)

Description

[Brian R. Bondy [:bbondy]]

You can often tell which plugin will be loaded by context of the webpage, but it would be nice to give the user the ability to see which plugin will be loaded.  Either by modifying the message "Click to activate Flash plugin" or at least having a menu item like the one ]there when the plugin is activated that says About Adobe Flash Player 11.3.  

I'm not sure if the context menu item is from the plug-in itself or not, but if not, it would be good to preserve it.

I think bug 754472 pretty much covers this.

I'm going to go ahead and dupe this to 754472, since the changes there will cover this. There won't be a context menu, though, so re-open this if you feel like that's necessary (the "About Adobe Flash Player 11.3" context menu is from the plugin, not us).
