The "Plugin Finder Service" checking never ends on a live USB key

[Thibault D]

1. Create a live USB key with a 13.04 daily build.
2. Boot on it and click on "Try Ubuntu"
3. Wait for the desktop to show and connect to the Internet
4. Launch Firefox and go to http://www.youtube.com/
5. Firefox will prompt "Additional plugins are required to display all the media on this page"
6. Click on "Install Missing Plugins..."
7. Firefox will prompt a new window called "Plugin Finder Service" saying :
- "Welcome to the Plugin Finder Service 2"
- "Firefox is now checking for available plugins..."

What happens : the Plugin Finder Service keeps running without finding anything,
What should happen : the Plugin Finder Service should find the plugin and install it, or prompt that it cannot find it.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Paul White (paulw2u)]

We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to review all reported bugs in a timely manner. You reported this bug some time ago and there have been many changes in Ubuntu and Firefox since that time.

Ubuntu 13.04 (raring) reached end-of-life on January 27, 2014.

Do you still see a problem related to the one that you reported using currently supported versions of Firefox and Ubuntu? Please let us know if you do otherwise this report can be left to expire in approximately 60 days time.

Thank you for helping make Ubuntu better.
