[opensuse-factory-mozilla] Re: [opensuse-factory] Plugins in MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH are dysfunctional for latest Firefox

Hi, would you mind to open a bugreport for openSUSE? We should discuss there (or on mozilla-factory-mozilla@) how to proceed. We could either patch Firefox to still search in the /usr/$LIB/browser-plugins location or change the "convention" that browser-plugins need to be installed in /usr/$LIB/mozilla/plugins which is still supported w/o env changes. I tend to the latter because there is only one plugin left? Wolfgang Am 06.01.20 um 18:12 schrieb Hans-Peter Jansen:
Hi,
as an heads up, FF ignores MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH now, resulting in dysfunctional plug-ins. Wolfgang is innocent of course, upstream intentionally broke it:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1602308
Dirty quick fix for Flash:
ln -s ../../browser-plugins/libfreshwrapper-flashplayer.so /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins
Cheers, Pete

Agreed. Doesn't look, like any other browser engines seem to care for this, and if so, they could be relocated to /usr/$LIB/mozilla/plugins as well. Also, my tests imply, that the original libflashplayer.so from flash_player_npapi_linux-32.0.0.303.x86_64.tar.gz does work well. IIRC, the purpose of libfreshwrapper-flashplayer.so was to wrap the chromium provided flash engine. Since chromium has given up on flash (does they?), it looks like we could/should revert to the adobe provided distribution. I'm preparing an improved spec of this right now, that will build with TW (minus KDE4 parts).
