No information on flashplayer choice

[Robert Spanjaard]

Binary package hint: mozilla-firefox

Release: 8.04 final

When Firefox encounters a piece of flash content for the first time, you can choose from three different flash players: Swfdec, Gnash and Adobe. When I get such a choice, I expect to get some information about the different options; the pros and cons of the different players. Instead, I didn't get any information at all.

this is partly fixed in ubufox 0.6 beta ... we also display a description - which still needs to be properly inserted into database of webservice.
