160618 - repetitive plugin dialog box

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 83754

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Chris Chiasson]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i586; en-US; rv:1.1b) Gecko/20020722
BuildID:    2002072204

Despite attempts to set preferences to not install software, Navigator brings up
a dialog box for plugins like Shockwave Flash. This only seems to happen under
my Linux install - the Windows version doesn't ask.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Set Preferences: Navigator/Helper Applications/Plugin Finder Service unchecked
| Advanced/Scripts and Plugins/Open Unrequested Windows unchecked |
Advanced/Software Installation/Enable Software Installation also unchecked
2.Restarted browser; check preferences to make sure they "took" 
3.Load a site with flash, like www.tomshardware.com

Actual Results:  I get the installation prompt dialog box ... it wants me to
download flash

Expected Results:  there should be no dialog box, just the missing puzzle piece
icon to indicate the non-functional flash parts of the page 

this doesn't happen in windows - is there a missing option in the linux version,
perhaps under Navigator/Helpher Applications?

this is a dup of bug 61103, and it leads to bug 83754
