So what can we do? Adobe did it right once (somewhere for 7.x flash) ... now they fail again to provide an automatic install package. I think noone really has a communication channel adobe and I don't think its really better for sun. And finally, the probability that this has already been reported with them (hundred/thousand times?) is close to 100%. If you want to triage this bug with sun and adobe, feel free to reopen assign to you. I am open to new thoughts, but I currently don't see how we can tackle this. - Alexander -- (Feisty) Firefox requires manual JRE install https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/94293 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
