Caused somewhat intentionally by bug 757726: This is the code at http://torrent-tv.ru/js/core.js: for (var i=0; i < navigator.plugins.length; i++) { if(navigator.plugins[i].name.match(/Torrent Stream P2P Multimedia Plug-in 2/gim)) { if(p === false) { p = 3; } } else if(navigator.plugins[i].name.match(/Torrent Stream P2P Multimedia Plug-in/gim)) { if(p === false) { p = 1; } } else if(navigator.plugins[i].name.match(/ACE Stream P2P Multimedia Plug-in/gim)) { p = 2; } else if(navigator.plugins[i].name.match(/ACE Stream Multimedia Plug-in/gim)) { p = 4; } } The best solution would be for this site to stop enumerating navigator.plugins and instead check navigator.mimeTypes['mimeType'].

Kohei, please don't move these bugs to TE until/unless we are sure that we aren't going to add the plugin to the in-product blocklist. TE is where bugs go to die and not be tracked.

Switching the tracking flag from Firefox27->28 per bug description.

I tried pinging torrent-tv.ru on Twitter and their website's Contact form. Do we have a better way to contact them?

That's a good start, let us know if you hear back from them, tracking to make sure we stay on top of this.

I reported this problem to them the same day I posted it here. BTW, this affects all sites that provide ace streaming content. The only reply I got so far was "We'll think about it when FF 28 is released." Maybe you'll have more luck.

If we want to whitelist the ACE Stream video plugin, we will need to add the "ACE Stream" plugin name prefix to the `plugins.enumerable_names` pref. I do not think we should include the "Torrent Stream P2P Multimedia Plug-in" name because that is an older version of the same plugin. That said, whitelisting plugins to fix a torrent website is not a high priority on my to-do list. :)

WFM too with latest Aurora and Nightly builds from 2014-01-28. It's also fixed on Aurora from 2013-12-14 (comment 0).

There are some sites out there that are still affected (e.g., http://raketa-tv.com), but it's their loss (they are, so to speak, trailing behind in technology).
