Now it plays automatically. Should I be concerned?


If you're using the Adobe product
rather than an alternate Flash rendering app,

you've already surrendered on the security and privacy fronts.

This offers an improvement

--though the current version is for the new Gecko core.

...but Flash remains a steaming pile of security vulnerabilities

Hello all,

Is it just me or do we have other people here using the SM2.0 nightlies
that see the same problem as I see?: (bug 491187
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=491187 ) where the RSS are
always displayed as "summary" but never as standard (HTML) page,
whatever the RSS account setting?
I see this behavior with Linux and Windows, with a clean profile... It
seems a regression from May 2nd.
Thanks for your feedback

Dominique

Ooops, error in the title, now corrected...

Anyone interested or seeing the same issue ?
That is quite strange as I tried a clean profile, on Linux and Windows,
to get to the same result: no way to display HTML-formatted RSS, only
the article summary...
I hope this gets noticed eventually, or that someone would provide
directions on how to investigate further
Thanks
Dominique


I'm seeing the same issue, but it only seems to affect one of my many 
rss feeds.
