New Firefox build loses multimedia plugins

[Robert Easter]

Binary package hint: firefox

Since the xx.17 Firefox update any flash links demand a Flash upgrade, which I install with debi but never see work. Installing linux versions - gnash, kplayer plugin, etc, do not appear either. When I have the time, I'm sure I will find the right switch to flip, but why this uninvited drama?

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 since that time.

Presumably this problem was a one time occurrence and/or is no longer an issue? Can the bug report now be closed? If we do not hear from you the bug report will close itself in approximately 60 days time.

Thank you again for helping make Ubuntu better.
