741754 - Dynamically added Flash plugins are shown as plugin placeholders even when plugins are set to allowed on that site

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[Martijn Wargers (dead)]

You need to have the Setting for Plugins set to "Tap to Play" to see this bug.

Steps to reproduce:
- Visit http://people.mozilla.org/~mwargers/tests/plugins/flash/flashembed_dynamicrepeating.html every 2 seconds a new Flash plugin is being created
- The plugin doorhanger appears, tap on "Yes" to play it

Expected result:
- Flash plugins are shown, every new Flash plugin that is created should directly be shown as a Flash plugin, not as plugin placeholder

Actual result:
- Existing Flash objects are shown as Flash plugins now, but newly created Flash objects are rendered as plugin placeholders.

Tested on the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, yesterday's trunk build.

That's odd. I would have thought clickToPlayPluginsActivated would have caught that:

I think bug 741128 might have fixed this. I'm seeing activated flash objects instead of placeholders.

The quality of the flash content is bad (some of the squares are all black or all white), but that's likely a different bug.

Martijn, are you still seeing this issue? My comment in comment 2 makes it sound like this got fixed.

Yes, I'm still seeing this in the build from 2012-04-10.
