firefox-3 won't install gnash plugin

[Rocko]

If I already have gnash and gnash-common installed but NOT mozilla-plugin-gnash (and Adobe is not installed) and I visit a site needing flash, Firefox prompts me to install either Adobe or gnash.

If I then select gnash, Firefox does some processing and returns to the original page saying that plugins are required.

Instead, it should install the plugin.

The workaround is either to install mozilla-plugin-gnash via Synaptic and try again in Firefox, or to remove gnash completely and try again.

Hardy 8.04 beta
Firefox 3.0~b5+nobinonly-0ubuntu1
jockey 0.3.3-0ubuntu7
gnash 0.8.2-0ubuntu3

similar problem here, but:

-when opening a flash page, i'm only offered to intall adobe flash, nothing else. nevertheless, this fails, see bug 199460
-when installing gnash via system-->add/remove, it won't install mozilla-plugin-gnash. this has to be done separately using synaptic

however, gnash does not work with youTube for me.

Changing from Jockey to Ubufox because Jockey is for proprietary hardware drivers, not for FF/mozilla plugin install

i am pretty sure that you see the outfall of https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=425814

actually, not a ubufox bug.
