Can we do this without notification box? This will trigger far too often and be annoying. Wear-down etc.pp.
I prefer something like FlashBlock: the area of the plugin in the page is covered, with a single "Play" button in the middle. (And yes, I don't care much about plugins that have no UI.)

There's a good chance that other user would dislike soundcloud.com & Co. breaking.
The alternative to the notification bar would be to always enable invisible plugins.

There's a couple of sides to this IMO - see bug 549697 comment 24 which talks about Flash content breaking if there are invisible 'helper SWFs' that can't be click to play-ed. From a security standpoint, always allowing invisible plugins to load takes away a lot of click to play being a mitigation against 'driveby plugin exploits' (which we know are common). Then again, working on bug 690161 and having an acceptable UX for blocking vulnerable versions of plugins from loading could potentially be a better way of addressing that problem.

For mobile (bug 708464), we decided we would just play all plugins on the page if you clicked on one of them - this avoids the hidden "helper SWF" problem. We also decided we would only show a notification if there were no visible plugins on the page, which was our solution to Dão's concern in comment 4.

> The alternative to the notification bar would be to always enable invisible plugins.
That's a catastrophe security-wise. Then you can just as well drop the whole feature.
Comment 6: pretty much what I wanted to propose
Note that if the user [x] remembers, the enable should still be specific for the plugins that existed at the time of the remembering, and never enable all plugins on the page. It is common that big, normal websites get infected and deliver exploit code unwillingly, and any solution must protect against that.
Another alternative would be to just make invisible plugins visible and put the Play button there. More or less like the notification bar, just inside the page.

Here's the latest:
* left or right clicking a plugin brings up a menu with the option to play it
* if a visible plugin is played, all invisible plugins are also played
* if there are no visible plugins, a hanger allows the user to play them (otherwise there is no hanger)
* any permission related issues are implemented in bug 711618
Issue: the 'Tap here to activate plugin' message should really be 'Click here...' - is there an easy to differentiate between mobile and desktop in this case? (right now this is in toolkit/locales/en-US/chrome/mozapps/plugins/plugins.dtd)

Is there differentiation between plugin types? That is:
- if I click and play a flash element, does that also enable java applets on the page;
- if there are visible flash elements and invisible java elements, do I get a doorhanger for the java?

> Is there differentiation between plugin types?
Not at the moment, but it's certainly doable. One thing I'm concerned about is that such differentiation might result in more notifications and complexity than users want to deal with (thus resulting in them going back to always enabling plugins, which is not what we want).
> That is:

Only if the java applets are "invisible" (essentially, too small to be seen). Enabling one visible plugin does not affect any other visible ones.

Not as currently implemented.

That sounds perfect. *Exactly* like that. Thanks!

As a security mitigation, what will/should happen in this scenario: a vulnerability is discovered in Java/Acrobat/whatever (or in specific older versions of these plugins), so we want to make only those plugins "click to play" without affecting Flash. Will this UI ignore the plugins that run automatically and the decision to display a hanger is based only on the semi-blocked plugins?
Will the click-to-play UI show *which* plugins are being activated, or just that some plugin is going to be enabled? In the case of multiple kinds hidden plugins, will the UI show all the various types that will be enabled?
Are we exposing to the DOM that a particular plugin element (<object> or <embed> is user-disabled?) This seems important for websites that rely primarily on plugins (e.g. Pandora) so that they can show alternate UI (plugins are disabled, please click to play) instead of timing out and showing a generic "please install Flash" or "Song initialization timed out, please hit refresh" UI.

David, I wanted to let you know that we recently changed our implementation of the click to play plugins UI on mobile because we were running into problems when pages were loaded from the cache. The patch for this is in bug 719875, but I also filed bug 723617 about changing the platform side of things for a more robust solution.

Who will be the "originator" in case of a driveby attack scenery?
Example: you(t)ube gets hacked, an exploit through flash in a driveby scenario. Naturally the user has allowed flash on yt. The driveby injections is done via a <script src="remote://"> tag, which loads more code from a remote page, loads malicious flash swf, etc.
Would the user see, being on you(t)ube.com, that a plugin is being activated via a third party? Or would it be just granted allowance due user previous preference on you(t)ube?
And of course this is an idealized scenario: once they were able to break into the the server, they could of course server the malicious code right from their on page, too. Probably no way to mitigate this ...

It would appear that youtube is trying to load some plugin. However, as the plugin's uri is something the user has never seen before, it would not be automatically played.

Right. And, if they replaced something the user had seen and enabled before (e.g. the flash object that plays the videos on youtube), it would get played automatically.

I have "Click to Play" right now using Firefox via the "NoScript" extension. If NoScript settings are set to Globally Allow Scripts and the Embeddings are applied to whitelisted items, then NoScript doesn't interfere with anything on a page except for plugins, which it displays with a NoScript graphic. When a Plugin is encountered on a webpage, NoScript displays its graphic over the area. To play the plugin, I simply click the NoScript-gracphic and the plugin is allowed to start playing.

hi guys
i have enable plugins.click_to_play (on win/linux)
it seems it blocks the plugin fine but when i click on the tap to play nothing happens.
Have to manually switch off plugins.click_to_play to work with plugins.
So any ideas what going on & when will this be fixed?

This is based off of David's patch.
I have removed the context menu for the click to play plugins and plugins are now activated upon a single left-click on the plugin.
Still left to implement: Add the ability to remember settings for a site if plugins have been activated on a site for >= 3 times.

Jared, I mentioned this above in comment 14, but on mobile we had problems storing the plugins to play in an array. This was because we would re-set the array when navigating to a new page (like I see you're doing here in an unload listener), but we don't receive the "PluginClickToPlay" event when pages are loaded from the cache, so the array doesn't get re-populated in that case. You can look at the patch in bug 719875 for the solution we ended up using, but I think the real solution would be bug 723617.

Thanks Margaret. I will include testing and fixing of loading from the cache in my next version.
Margaret: Is this also why the mobile version of click-to-play plugins traverses the DOM and looks for embeds? Is it considered OK that we are setting an attribute on the embed element to know that it was played? That part seemed confusing to me, unless web developers are asking for status on click-to-play from their scripts.

Yes, this is the only reason we traverse the DOM. It's also the only reason that we set an attribute on the embed element. To be honest, I hadn't thought about web developers looking at that attribute, but I guess that could be useful. From a security standpoint, setting the attribute themselves wouldn't do anything, other than make the plugin object never get activated, so at least that's not something to worry about.

Ok, thanks for the explanation :)
I don't know of another way to keep track of these elements, but I recommend that we rename that attribute to mozPlayed to reduce breakage of scripts but also because "played" isn't an adopted standard as I understand it.
I'll file a separate bug for this refactoring and work on that too.
Comment 25•13 years ago

Wait, our chrome code sets an attribute on the content DOM element here? That's generally not what we want, we don't want our chrome code injecting observable things into the DOM tree. Doing so causes problems with serialization/deserialization, cloning and using the cloned node, and can also generally confuse code on the page itself.
If our UI code really needs to store the played state on a plugin in a content DOM then we should store that state through internal interfaces in ways where the state does not get copied when a node is cloned etc. We already have nsIObjectLoadingContent, can we move that state there?

Add a comment about this case. My understanding is that we're removing a notification bar that's showing if we later find a visible plugin.
Won't this cause a flickering notification bar in this case while the page is loading? Otherwise, if the page is done loading it's a bit unusual for the notification bar to just disappear since there's no way to bring it back. It would be nice to wait until we're more sure that we need a notification bar (perhaps with a timeout?) before showing one. For the page load case, it would be nice to wait until DOMContentLoaded (+ some max. time for huge pages) before showing a notification.

Nit: Not a fan of the "askToEnablePluginsMessage" identifier. "Ask" is usually implied in a notification message.
Also, we should probably get UX feedback on the string if we haven't already. "Enable plugins" may be confused with enabling a plugin globally. Perhaps "Enable plugins on this page"?

We shouldn't use the unload event, since it will disable the bfcache. We should use pagehide here instead, but bug 723617 will have to be fixed first.

This will break, for example, plugins displaying advertising content from a 3rd party domain.

This patch gets us closer to the implementation and is dependent on the patch in bug 730318.
Note that with this patch, the doorhanger will always show, there is no delay in showing the doorhanger, and there is no way to remember the settings for a site. Plugin elements created after activation of the plugins will not be auto-activated.

This patch enables the click-to-play preference so we can get some testing on this in Nightly (and possibly Aurora).
If the other parts of click-to-play plugins aren't landed in time for the merge to Aurora, then we'll change the pref to false for Fx14 during the Aurora cycle.

There are progress listeners that should let you call showPluginClickToPlayDoorhanger at the right time. You shouldn't need a load event listener for this.
Also, prefix custom properties you put on browsers with an underscore.

I think this part should use function name instead of arguments.callee.
e.g:
aBrowser.addEventListener("click", BrowserOnClick, false);
aBrowser.addEventListener("pagehide", function onPagehide() {
aBrowser.removeEventListener("click", BrowserOnClick, false);
aBrowser.removeEventListener("pagehide", onPagehide, true);

The patch v2 uses "addons-notification-icon" icon as popup notification icon.
However, this icon is used for add-ons installations. The role of click-to-play-plugins is distinct from it. Using same icon may causes some problem of expandability by add-ons.
So Should it make the new icon element for click-to-play?

we cannot have heavy operations in progress listeners as they can slow down networking. Since this call will iterate through plugins, it is potentially unbounded, so we should fire it from a setTimeout(.., 0)
what is the intended behavior if the STATE_STOP happens for a background tab? From what I can tell this will display the doorhanger, which doesn't seem right as the doorhangers are associated with the current tab

I suspect the isTrusted checks are leftovers from pre-bug 289940 code. They shouldn't be needed unless the relevant addEventListener calls are passing aWantsUntrusted=true (worth testing, though - in a followup if desired).

Yeah, this is by design. We should only show the doorhanger if there are more than 0 plugins on a page and none of them are visible.

My patch only changes the indentation levels of this code, so I don't want to increase the scope of this bug by cleaning up other code nearby. We should just file a separate bug to clean up usages of arguments.callee.

STATE_STOP is as similar to the load event as we can get. I haven't seen any issues from this in my testing, but if we notice some down the road then I think we can address them at that time.

The doorhanger code handles this properly and doesn't show doorhangers for wrong browser.

The skin stylesheet should follow the content stylesheet. I checked mxr and I can't find any other instance of a skin stylesheet preceding a content stylesheet.

I added the e.isTrusted check for consistency and extra precaution for now. I think we should file a follow-up bug to investigate the necessity of the e.isTrusted checks and remove them after we know it is safe to do so.

This patch encompasses the work from the two previous r+'d patches, but refactors some of the code to make it less complicated.
Showing the notification is no longer delayed until the load event, and we no longer loop over all plugin objects for each click-to-play event. This patch also properly handles back-forward navigation.
On pages where plugins are considered visible by our metric, but not user facing, such as Pandora, we will show the notification in a dismissed state so users can still enable plugins. We should improve our metric for determining if a plugin is "visible", but that shouldn't be included in this bug.

Patch for bug v4
Review of attachment 610322 [details] [diff] [review]:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
As we talked, with this new approach the first plugin will determine if the doorhanger is shown or not. Ultimately, the problem is that there is no perfect way to determine if the doorhanger needs to be displayed, given the nature of web page loading, styling, dynamic changes... So we will need to talk with UX to see what are the acceptable options.
I'm inclined to think that never showing the doorhanger, but always adding the doorhanger icon is the way to go, specially when considering the goals of the feature (security for outdated plugins for example).
I had already added some comments to the patch so I'm posting them as they may still be relevant afterwards.

I've addressed the various feedback.
The other plugin overlays have a link that is added to them which accepts the "keydown" event and checks for the Return key. We should add something like that, but we'll need to figure out how we want to do implement it since a link might not make as much sense here since there will be no document navigation occurring.

Tests for patch
Review of attachment 611629 [details] [diff] [review]:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Thanks for writing these tests, they look good! It'd be great to include a few more things:
- a test for the case when the plugin is too small such that the overlay can't be shown, and then activate it via the doorhanger
- It should also be possible to test the reshowDoorhanger function by using gTestBrowser.goBack()
- And lastly test that the PluginClickToPlay event is fired 3 times when plugin_test2.html loads (asking because I don't see any tests about this in the patch that implemented that event)

Thanks for this!

My only complaints are:
- bug 742753
- an "Always activate plugins" option in the door hanger or
- a whitelist
Also, it might be Oracle's fault, but the behavior of clicking "Do I have Java?" at http://java.com/en/ with this feature on is less than ideal.
Should follow up bugs be filled?

Alex, thanks for the feedback !
please see https://wiki.mozilla.org/Opt-in_activation_for_plugins which described the overall plan/current proposal for click to play - a whitelist is definitely a strong possibility.
the feature proposal is currently being discussed on mozilla.dev.security and we asked the Mozilla UX team for feedback yesterday, also.

is this the same as the problem with silverlight described in bug 743102 ? from comment 4 in that bug it sounds like it might be.
Please note that bug 738698 is the meta bug for 'click to play' :)

Thanks for this! too
i also have traded Flashblock for plugins.click_to_play;true
But by when it will be stable enough to test?
will it have the option to control(enable on demand) for all types of plugins?
& what about say a page has two flash player windows but want to play only the second one
will it be possible ? (flashblock allows this)
Comment 65•13 years ago

A whitelist may be a required feature if at least to cope with any sites that simply don't work correctly with click-to-play. For example, on http://nyan.cat/ the sound doesn't work with click-to-play, either this implementation or Flashblock. Whitelisting it is required to get it working and there are other sites where this may be the case too.

i see whitelisting as more meaning 'this plugin is always allowed to play by default (without a click)' across all sites. i think we definitely want to have an easy way for a user to choose 'always allow this plugin to play by default on a specific site as well.
This is covered as a use case (imo) with "User is tired of always clicking to play a given plugin (i.e. YouTube, or their favorite Java game site)" in https://wiki.mozilla.org/Opt-in_activation_for_plugins although the exact UX around this use case is still being discussed on mozilla.dev.security
Please note that bug 738698 is the meta bug for 'click to play' and this bug is marked fixed - mozilla.dev.security is probably a better place to discuss click to play overall. Thanks !

I'm not sure what you mean here. Do you want to just replace what is there now with a play button? Or are you proposing a mechanism that loads the plugin, "pauses" it, and throws the transparent overlay on top?
The latter is probably not desirable because it does away with the security and resource-management gains we get from this feature.

Great! But I wished this would have been enabled by default in Firefox 14. I'll see that many users know this to activate plugins.click_to_play == true ;-)
