Title: Firefox does not play local flash files Status in Mozilla Firefox: Expired Status in Linux Mint: New Status in firefox package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: After upgrading to Xubuntu 14.04 I cannot play local swf files int Firefox any more. Was OK in 13.10. I get the window "You have chosen to open: xxx.swf which is: Shockwave Flash file (yyyMB) from: /home/... What should Firefox do with this file? - Open with (Parole/Other...) - Save File Do this automatically... Reinstalling 14.04 completely (and installing flashplugin-installer) and creating a new user does not help. Of course this works well with flash embedded in html pages. In Firefox, there are 2 entries in the applications menu, one for"shockwave flash files" and the other for "SWF", as described in https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/995797. I cannot link the action "Use shockwave flash (in Firefox)" to the type "shockwave flash files" as it is for "SWF file".
