If you select "Ask to Activate" in FF, the contents requiring Flash is not shown. If you select "Always Activate", the tab with the page requiring Flash simply crashes. Issue identified via <https://askubuntu.com/q/1048357>. A "no change rebuild" does not help. The proposed version in the PPA fixes the issue, so the wrapper works as intended also with the latest FF version. https://launchpad.net/~gunnarhj/+archive/ubuntu/freshplayerplugin This suggests an upgrade to a newer upstream version. This is the upstream changelog: 2017-12-23 Rinat Ibragimov <ibragimovri...@mail.ru> * release v0.3.9 * network: stop using files with NPN_PostURL 2017-12-09 Rinat Ibragimov <ibragimovri...@mail.ru> * release: v0.3.8 * misc: add NPN_PluginThreadAsyncCall emulation for Firefox 58 2017-05-31 Rinat Ibragimov <ibragimovri...@mail.ru> * 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 <ibragimovri...@mail.ru> * 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,bionic}-release version of browser-plugin-freshplayer-pepperflash. 2. (Re)start Firefox and visit <https://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player.html>. => Find that it doesn't confirm that Flash is installed. 3. Install browser-plugin-freshplayer-pepperflash from {xenial,bionic}-proposed. 4. Repeat 2. => Confirmation that the latest Flash version is installed. [Regression Potential] Considering that the {xenial,bionic}-release version of browser-plugin-freshplayer-pepperflash breaks Flash completely on Firefox, the risk that this upload makes the situation worse is non-existent.
