Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 262727

(Toolkit Graveyard :: Plugin Finder Service, defect)

Description

[Rob Borek]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041006 Firefox/0.10.1 (MOOX M3)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041006 Firefox/0.10.1 (MOOX M3)

Going to the page http://razghul.ice.org/misc/zoom/zoom.htm (or any other
Shockwave page) without Shockwave installed pops up a plugin install window. At
the end, it can't find it and displays the Manual Install button. Clicking on
this button then leads to a scenario where you cannot do anything in Firefox
(see the attachment for the window it displays)

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to Shockwave page
2. Go through the plugin update process, and click on Manual Install


Actual Results:  
You cannot exit out of Firefox or do anything within it - you must manually
close the process.

Expected Results:  
It should have gone to the Shockwave download page at Macromedia.
