I think this is fixed in revision 959136 by Maks Orlovich Unfortunately it does not seem to be fixed in trunk or KDE 4.2.3, where the fix was backported. The problem here seems to be that youtube is doing its own checks for Flash, and won't embed the flash object unless Flash is found. The way flash detection currently works is that a "do you want to download flash" dialog is given if a page tries to embed flash when it is not installed. What should we do about this ? As Jonathan described this seems to be out of scope. Thanks Firefox manages to do it, so it's not exactly impossible. But I dunno how we'd go about detecting it better. Would it help having the flash package pulled as a dependency of firefox? Distro Firefox packages don't do that either, since flash in nonfree software. Thank you for the bug report. As this report hasn't seen any changes in 10 years or more, we ask if you can please confirm that the issue still persists. If this bug is no longer persisting or relevant please change the status to resolved. Flash and Netscape plugins are no longer supported. |
