544361 - [OOPP] Silverlight 3 not recognized (worked yesterday)

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core Graveyard :: Plug-ins, defect)

Description

[u88484]

silverlight is not detected as being installed until 'dom.ipc.plugins.enabled' is toggled.

STR:
1) Load http://timheuer.com/silverlight/bouncingplane/, Banner tells you to install silverlight
2) Toggle 'dom.ipc.plugins.enabled' to flase
3) Refresh tab and silverlight content plays
4) Toggle 'dom.ipc.plugins.enabled' to true
5) Refresh page and silverlight content displays
6) Restart firefox and silverlight not detected as being installed once again

When I followed these steps, Silverlight content does play.

But killing the mozilla-runtime process does not kill the currently playing Silverlight content. (So I guess it's being run in-process?)

Comment 2

[IU]

Your summary could be clearer.  How about adding "to false" to the end of it?

By the way, this is a regression in today's nightly, as it was originally fixed by bug 540604.

IU, yes toggling it to flase does allow silverlight content to play but the point of this bug is that toggling it back to true continues to allow silverlight content to play.
