Comment 6 for bug 1323734

still a bug in Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS

What I tried was to copy

/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libgnome-shell-browser-plugin.so

to

/usr/lib/chromium-browser/plugins/

but that doesn't work for me. about:plugins ignores this and I have no idea what else I could try.

I also tried then to start chromium by:

chromium-browser -vvvv --extra-plugin-dir=/usr/lib/chromium-browser/plugins/

but this gives no hint that it even tries to access that dir/plugin:

book:~$ chromium-browser -vvvv --extra-plugin-dir=/usr/lib/chromium-browser/plugins/
