Title:
Firefox should not offer a manual install of Flash on First Run
Status in The Mozilla Firefox Browser:
Confirmed
Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
Binary package hint: firefox-3.0
After installing today's updates in Jaunty, when first opening Firefox
I get a greeting with this message:
You should update Adobe Flash Player right now.
Firefox is up to date, but your current version of Flash Player can
cause security and stability issues. Please install the free update as
soon as possible.
This links to http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ which proposes a
manual download and installation of Flash.
AFAIK my version is current (alpha 64-bit version of Flash), Firfox
shouldn't be attempting to detect nor correct such updates. This
should be handled by the packaging system in Ubuntu.
Not sure if this affects non-64-bit versions.
