** Description changed:
+ [Impact]
+
browser-plugin-freshplayer-pepperflash prevents sites which require
- Flash from working. If you select "Ask to Activate" in FF, the contents
- requiring Flash is not shown. If you select "Always Activate", the tab
- with the page requiring Flash simply crashes.
+ Flash from working with the latest versions of Firefox. If you select
+ "Ask to Activate" in FF, the contents requiring Flash is not shown. If
+ you select "Always Activate", the tab with the page requiring Flash
+ simply crashes.
Issue identified via <https://askubuntu.com/q/1048357>. A "no change
rebuild" does not help.
- Firefox 60.0.2
- browser-plugin-freshplayer-pepperflash 0.3.5-1ubuntu7
+ The proposed version in the PPA fixes the issue, so the wrapper works as
+ intended also with the latest FF version.
+
+ https://launchpad.net/~gunnarhj/+archive/ubuntu/freshplayerplugin
+
+ This suggests an upgrade to a newer upstream version. This is the
+ upstream changelog:
+
+ 2017-12-23 Rinat Ibragimov <ibragimovri...@mail.ru>
+
+ * release v0.3.9
+ * network: stop using files with NPN_PostURL
+
+ 2017-12-09 Rinat Ibragimov <ibragimovri...@mail.ru>
+
+ * release: v0.3.8
+ * misc: add NPN_PluginThreadAsyncCall emulation for Firefox 58
+
+ 2017-05-31 Rinat Ibragimov <ibragimovri...@mail.ru>
+
+ * release: v0.3.7
+ * graphics: add more fullscreen _NET_WM controls
+ * misc: drop libpdf wrapper
+ * misc: drop NaCl wrapper
+ * misc: search for PepperFlash in Chrome component update
+ directories
+
+ 2016-10-05 Rinat Ibragimov <ibragimovri...@mail.ru>
+
+ * release: v0.3.6
+ * graphics: fix off-by-one pixel issue in fullscreen scaling
+ mode
+ * graphics: try to flicker less
+ * misc: use ICU for character set conversion, use WhatWG
+ canonical encoding name conversion
+ * misc: guess default character encoding from locale name
+ * misc: guess GTK+ major version at run time
+
+ Admittedly it includes a few minor improvements, but hopefully this can
+ still pass as an SRUable microrelease (or something...).
+
+ [Test Case]
+
+ 1. Install adobe-flashplugin and the bionic-release version of
+ browser-plugin-freshplayer-pepperflash.
+
+ 2. (Re)start Firefox and visit
+ <https://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player.html>.
+
+ => Find that it doesn't confirm that Flash is installed.
+
+ 3. Install browser-plugin-freshplayer-pepperflash from bionic-proposed.
+
+ 4. Repeat 2.
+
+ => Confirmation that the latest Flash version is installed.
+
+ [Regression Potential]
+
+ Considering that the bionic-release version of browser-plugin-
+ freshplayer-pepperflash breaks Flash completely on Firefox, the risk
+ that this upload makes the situation worse is non-existent.
