694546 - Adobe Flash Player Settings does not work in Fennec

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: General, defect, P4)

Description

[Aaron Train [:aaronmt]]

Adobe Flash Player 11 installs a second application, "Flash Player Settings" that lets one tweak local storage and set preferences for peer-assisted networking. Opening it in Fennec simply displays a "Download Flash" button.

Expected to see an 'activate plugin' container that loads their manager.

Install the latest version of Flash from the Android market. It bundles an application, "Flash Player Settings". Tap that application and open it in Nightly/Aurora; which yields this.

Aaron, try setting enable plugins settings to yes in fennec settings, then restart fennec and then trying it out.  It should work.

No difference. Same result in screenshot.

I can't reproduce this issue with plugins set to play automatically ("Enable plugins: Yes"). Testing on Atrix running 3.2.4 with Flash 11.

Aaron, if you use phony (http://limpet.net/mbrubeck/temp/phony.xpi) to change the UA String to the default browser, do things work?

[Aaron Train [:aaronmt]]

Says downloading but doesn't install. Can't find it in Add-ons Manager. (Nightly 01/09).

I just realized something; I thought flash only works for 2.3 and lower, not for ICS or Honeycomb?

Yeah you're right, shi-. My fault, ignore comment #1, I was recently testing on 4.0.3.

Re-tested just now on 2.3, Flash 11, 'Enable Plugins: Yes', and opened in Nightly and it works.
