Description

[[e-mail]]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:24.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/24.0 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20131108051159

Steps to reproduce:

1) mozmill -b /usr/lib64/firefox/firefox (for mozmill1.5.24) or mozmill -b /usr/lib64/firefox/firefox --manual (for mozmill2.0)
2) navigate to about:plugins


Actual results:

No flash plugin listed even if normaly executed ff has flash.

Therefore some of mozmill tests failing.


Expected results:

Flash should be listed and operational.

Forgot to mention that I'm able to reproduce for mozmill 1.5 (1.5.24) and 2.0.

I think its more system related. Which distribution do you have? Does it also happen with a Firefox build downloaded from our FTP server directly?

Not listed for both about:plugins and addon manager.

You are right flas is listed for both mozmills for upstream build 24 and 25.

I'm using RHEL6.4.

So let me briefly describe testing:

 * distribution FF ESR24 shows in about:plugins and addon manager all plugins including flash-plugin, java, PackageKit, VLC and othes
 * distribution FF ESR24 executed through mozmill (2.0 and 1.5.24) all plugins I mentioned above EXCEPT flash-plugin are listed
 * upstream FF 24/25 executed through mozmill (2.0 and 1.5.24) shows ONLY flash-plugin no other plugins

Henrik thought that this problem is not in mozmill but system wide. Therefore if you are convinced that it is true please close this bug.

Thanks
Tom

Where has Flash been installed to compared to the other plugins on your machine?

That strange. I wish we would have Red Hat to run our own tests on. But that didn't happen yet. So could you test with upstream Firefox 23? How does it work? If it is fine, I would be interested in a regression between 23 and 24.

flash-plugin is actually wrapped through nspluginwrapper since RH is not supporting 64b flash

Tom, what was the latest information we collected on that issue together on IRC. Looks like we missed to update this bug accordingly.

Mozmill will reach its end of life soon. We are currently working on getting all the tests for Firefox ported to Marionette. For status updates please see bug 1080766.
