Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:69.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/69.0

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Launch Firefox on Wayland by using the variable MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1.
  2. Go to https://lumosity.com
  3. Launch games which require Adobe Flash Player.

Actual results:

  1. A game runs, but when you click on the game the page crashes.

Expected results:

Flash games work as well as they do when Firefox uses its X11 backend.

Very soon, the importance of this issue will cease to be, as they are moving all their games onto html5. However, it'd be nice if it's fixed.

Yeap, after seeing your question I went to about:crashes and submitted one more.

Moving component, this seems like either gtk or plugin issue.

Component: Graphics → Widget: Gtk

That's Bug 1548475 - we need to disable flash on Wayland.
