1135288 - Allow for Flash update from desktop rt

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox Graveyard :: Webapp Runtime, defect, P2)

Description

[(not reading bugmail) Nick Desaulniers [:\n]]

From speaking with Myk, the current play of attack is to:
1. Suppress all out of date plugin UI.
2. Re-enable flash

If users need to update Flash, they will probably get a prompt in FF.

That leaves the edge case that a user downloads FF to install FF, then never runs FF again, and never updates their Flash install.  At that point, we probably want to hook up nsBlocklistService [0] to nsPluginHost [1].

Per bug 1238079, we're going to disable the desktop web runtime and remove it from the codebase, so we won't fix these bugs in it.
