Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox

On first use, if the user visits a website that requires more flash features than the default, eg:

  http://w9.ustream.tv/recorded/11061470

then Firefox requests that missing-plugins be installed by displaying a bar at the top of the screen. The user can from here click through and install one of the offered (normally three) plugins via the packaging system.

After this, the content will still not display until the browser is restarted, and this is confusing to the user. Ideally Firefox should offer the restart option (as it does for certain other changes) when the install plugins dialogue has completed.

affects: firefox (Ubuntu) → ubufox (Ubuntu)
