Bug Description
[Impact]
browser-
Issue identified via <https:/
The proposed version in the PPA fixes the issue, so the wrapper works as intended also with the latest FF version.
https:/
This suggests an upgrade to a newer upstream version. This is the upstream changelog:
2017-12-23 Rinat Ibragimov <email address hidden>
* release v0.3.9
* network: stop using files with NPN_PostURL
2017-12-09 Rinat Ibragimov <email address hidden>
* release: v0.3.8
* misc: add NPN_PluginThrea
2017-05-31 Rinat Ibragimov <email address hidden>
* release: v0.3.7
* graphics: add more fullscreen _NET_WM controls
* misc: drop libpdf wrapper
* misc: drop NaCl wrapper
* misc: search for PepperFlash in Chrome component update
directories
2016-10-05 Rinat Ibragimov <email address hidden>
* release: v0.3.6
* graphics: fix off-by-one pixel issue in fullscreen scaling
mode
* graphics: try to flicker less
* misc: use ICU for character set conversion, use WhatWG
canonical encoding name conversion
* misc: guess default character encoding from locale name
* misc: guess GTK+ major version at run time
Admittedly it includes a few minor improvements, but hopefully this can still pass as an SRUable microrelease (or something...).
[Test Case]
1. Install adobe-flashplugin and the {xenial,
version of browser-
2. (Re)start Firefox and visit
<https:/
=> Find that it doesn't confirm that Flash is installed.
3. Install browser-
{xenial,
4. Repeat 2.
=> Confirmation that the latest Flash version is installed.
[Regression Potential]
Considering that the {xenial,
browser-
Firefox, the risk that this upload makes the situation worse is
non-existent.
