[Bug 1335388] Re: Firefox 30 does not play flash files
This bug is also present in Linux Mint 17. I tried the solution provided on the AskUbuntu page but it had no effect, even after restarting Firefox. Firefox version is 32.0.3, Flash plugin version 11.2.202.406. ** Bug watch added: Mozilla Bugzilla #995003 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=995003 ** Also affects: firefox via https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=995003 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown ** Also affects: linuxmint Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1335388 Title: Firefox 30 does not play flash files To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/firefox/+bug/1335388/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I have version 11.2 r202 of the Flash player installed. Actual results: Firefox presented me with the Opening (filename) dialog box that asks whether I want to Open the file in an external viewer or Save the file to my Downloads directory, as if I had accessed a file type Firefox doesn't know how to handle. Disabling all of my Extensions had no effect on this misbehaviour. Expected results: Firefox should have activated the Flash plugin to play the SWF file, in the same way that it does when I access an SWF file via an http or https URL, and in the same way that the Debian wheezy (stable) build of Iceweasel does.

I was able to reproduce this behavior with Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:31.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/31.0 ID:20140409030203 CSet: 5811efc11011 on Debian Sid with Shockwave Flash 11.2 r202. I'm not sure if this is done by design or not, though. My about:preferences Application tab correctly associate the swf format with Shockwave Flash plugin. If that can be of use, Chromium Version 33.0.1750.152 Debian jessie/sid (256984) as well cannot open a swf local file in-browser without asking first for the application to use. Also: Firefox does open directly without asking local video files of other formats, for instance .webm Component → File Handling Reply at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/1335388/comments/1 On 2014-04-29T15:55:50+00:00 Zen75502 wrote: Still present in Firefox 29.

I found a workaround or fix here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/478169/why-cant-firefox-run-local-swf-files This seems to be a bug in Xubuntu 14.04 indeed, but maybe in package shared-mime-info rather than firefox.

Same version of Firefox (30.0) works on Ubunu (gnome) 12.04.4, so it seems not an issue with the binary.

The package firefox-3.0 contained Firefox 3.0, not Firefox 30 (present in the firefox package). ** Package changed: firefox-3.0 (Ubuntu) = firefox (Ubuntu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1335388 Title: Firefox 30 does not play flash files To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/1335388/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
