Web site(s) are reporting that I do not have Flash installed. I do have the most current linux version installed:SeaMonkey 2.2.0/1: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:25.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/25.0 SeaMonkey/2.22 Shockwave Flash File: libflashplayer.so Path: /usr/lib/adobe-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so Version: 11,2,202,327 State: Enabled Shockwave Flash 11.2 r202 Firefox 25.0.1: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:25.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/25.0 Shockwave Flash File: libflashplayer.so Path: /usr/lib/adobe-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so Version: 11,2,202,327 State: Enabled Shockwave Flash 11.2 r202 The issue occurs in both SeaMonkey 2.2.0 (and 2.2.1) and Firefox 25.1. However it does not occur in Chromium Version 30.0.1599.114. The interesting bit is that Chromium is using the exact same libflashplayer.so as the Mozilla browsers: Chromium: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Ubuntu Chromium/30.0.1599.114 Chrome/30.0.1599.114 Safari/537.36 Adobe Flash Player - Version: 11.2 r202 Shockwave Flash 11.2 r202 Name: Shockwave Flash Version: 11.2 r202 Location: /usr/lib/adobe-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so If I use <https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/> as a base for testing, both SeaMonkey and Firefox (both are Mozilla versions & not distro versions) I get: Shockwave FlashShockwave Flash 11.2 r202 vulnerable 'Update Now' However if I use the same test with Chromium I get: Shockwave Flash Shockwave Flash 11.2 r202 'Up to Date' So now I test all three with <http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/find-version-flash-player.html> and get '11.2.202.327' for all three. So what gives? Why does the Mozilla plugin check report that the Chromium version (same libflashplayer.so is in use) is fine, yet reports that the SeaMonkey versions are 'vulnerable' and out of date? Anyone else getting the same (with linux)? It gets even more interesting, and the Mozilla plugin check also reports that the Flash plugin in Opera (linux) is fine as well: Opera/9.80 (X11; Linux x86_64) Presto/2.12.388 Version/12.16 Description: Shockwave Flash 11.2 r202 Architecture: native /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/flashplugin-alternative.so Note: Opera also uses the same libflashplayer.so, it just does it in a roundabout way via symlinks: $ ls -al /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/flashplugin-alternative.so lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 37 Nov 14 09:25 /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/flashplugin-alternative.so -> /etc/alternatives/mozilla-flashplugin $ ls -al /etc/alternatives/mozilla-flashplugin lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 44 Nov 14 09:25 /etc/alternatives/mozilla-flashplugin -> /usr/lib/adobe-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so Note that I've also tested using 'safe mode - addon disabled' I came across this when attempting to access a web page that requires Flash and uses bad browser sniffing: <http://www.pascc.org/services/providerenrollment_instructions.html> using the 'Enrollment' link: <https://www.reva-pa.com/ip/default/index.cfm?CSEC=522E72DF-B7E3-40E3-A87C-2D604AFAE911> It's bad browser sniffing as I can spoof my browser to appear the same as Chromium (as I'm doing now), and the enrollment page at pascc.org works just fine. I'll take that issue up with the site support separately.
What distro are you using ? You plugin folder is different from mine. On my distro, all my plugin are in /usr/lib64/browser-plugins/ -- GNOME 3.10.1 openSUSE 13.1 (Bottle) (x86_64) 64-bit Kernel Linux 3.11.6-4-desktop _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
