Bug Description
1. install latest gutsy and apt-get update it
2. launch firefox and point it to http://
3. SCREENSHOT_1: a yellow bar appears with "Install missing plugins..." button
4. SCREENSHOT_2: user can choose either commcerial flash or free gnash version (press next to get the default choice which is the commercial version)
5. SCREENSHOT_3: Firefox plugin installer then asks, "do you really want to install it?". (press the NO button here)
6. SCREENSHOT_4: Firefox plugin installer then says "plugin successfully installed" (even though the installation was aborted).
I expected it to say "installation aborted" or something instead.
I also see this, on 7.10 Beta on amd64. Neither Flash plugin installs (E: You have held broken packages for the Adobe one, and "package not found" for Gnash), but FIrefox reports "plugin successfully installed".
