143858 - After you installed the plug-in, (flash) and you want to visit a flash web site, mozilla refuse to show you it.

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(Core Graveyard :: Plug-ins, defect)

User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.0rc2)

In fact when you download flash or shockwave plug-in you have to chose  your
browser and mozilla isn't inclued in the list. So you choose the netscape's one,
make the installation, visit the flash web page you couldn't see before, and...
once again you can't see what this page shows. I tested the flash plug-in on
http://www.pianographique.com

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. You waant to visit a flash web site, and you have to download the flash
plug-in to see it.
2. You visit http://www.macromedia.com to download it.
3. Then you excecute the plug-in installer and complete the whole installation.
during the installation you can choose mozilla as a browser compatible with
netscape.
4. You launch mozilla in order to visit the flash web site again and it ask you
to instal the plug-in (you've just finished to instal) one more time.

Actual Results:  You still can't use flash plug-in with mozilla.

Expected Results:  Mozilla should have permetted the user to surf on every web
pages, even the one made the flash language.

Reporter : do you have flash / shockwave plugins listed in "about:plugins".

Flash plugin file is NPSWF32.dll.

Shockwave plugin file is np32dsw.dll

You have to see the in your plugins folder.

Works for me usint 2002051104 - WinXP - Flash 6 and Shockwave 8.5 plugins.

Use an XPI to install Flash:
ftp://ftp.netscape.com/pub/netscape6/english/6.2.1/windows/win32/xpi/flash.xpi

If you use the native installer, be sure npswf32.dll is in your plugins folder
and then visit about:plugins to confirm. Also see bug 143178.
