http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=500197 Summary: xulrunner does not use a fixed plugin path Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.1 Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Firefox AssignedTo: bnc-team-mozilla@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: luizluca@tre-sc.gov.br QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; pt-BR; rv:1.9.0.9) Gecko/2009041500 SUSE/3.0.9-0.1.1 Firefox/3.0.9 Hello, I use azureus for torrent download. It uses xulrunner to render its html stuff. Inside this html, generally comes flash. Even with a working flash for firefox 64 bit, it does not work for azureus 64 bit. xulrunner looks for plugins only(?) in path: /usr/lib64/xulrunner-1.9/plugins Or its version specific one. However, if the used one is /usr/lib64/xulrunner-1.9, it is just a link to the current xulrunner dir: /usr/lib64/xulrunner-1.9 -> xulrunner-1.9.0.9 When this lib is updated, It leaves the plugins inside the old-version directory! I always need to move from the old version plugins dir to the new one. Suggestions: 1) Let xulrunner use the /usr/lib64/browser-plugins/ dir 2) Use any other directory (not replaced in a rpm upgrade) for the same of what /usr/lib64/browser-plugins/ is for browsers. 3) Copy plugins on a lib update from the old dir to the new one. This is quite annoying. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install any software that uses xulrunner (like azureus) 2.Test the software with some html that needs flash (it didn't find the plugin) 3.Install flash inside the cited dir 4.Test the software (it finds the plugin) 5.Update the xulrunner rpm 6.Test the software (it didn't find the plugin) -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
