Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Websites :: plugins.mozilla.org, defect)

Description

[Ian Dundore]

Attachment: Screenshots.zip

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_9_2) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/33.0.1750.152 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

(NOTE: Referenced screenshots are contained in the attached "Screenshots.zip" archive.)

(1) Download and install a pre-4.3.5f1 version of the Unity Web Player. (For reference, 4.3.3f1 players can be downloaded here: http://beta.unity3d.com/download/5037474661/download.html)

(2) Run Firefox 28 (or other recent version).

(3) Navigate to http://unity3d.com/webplayer/setup - this runs a Unity Web Player instance.

(4) Note that Firefox correctly detects that an outdated, vulnerable version of the plugin is installed. (See screenshot 1)

(5) Click "Check for Updates..."

(6) Firefox navigates to PluginCheck.


Actual results:

Unity Web Player is listed erroneously as "up to date" (see screenshot 2)



Expected results:

PluginCheck detects that the installed UWP version is old and directs the user to a page where an updated UWP can be downloded (e.g. http://unity3d.com/webplayer)
