1. Open Firefox using a clean profile;

The page asks the user to install unity (although unity is already installed).

Unity is only a 32-bit plugin, and you're testing it on 64-bit Firefox.

Comment 2

[Cornel Ionce [:noni] [Hubs QA]]

It also reproduces on 32-bit Firefox builds.

Comment 3

[Benjamin Smedberg]

Does the Unity plugin appear in the addon manager and/or about:plugins in a 32-bit build?

Comment 4

[Cornel Ionce [:noni] [Hubs QA]]

Nope, Unity plugin is not displayed neither in the addon manager, nor in about:plugins using a Firefox 32-bit build.
