thats true.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Abrowser 34 recommending Flash?
+1 on all of the above. Also, Gnash is inaccessible. All my effort to get it to start playing automatically has been frustrated. Getting to its preferences or media controls is a hit-and-miss with orca screen reader. It's easier for me to use an external app for playing media, whose controls are accessible. VLC for the win on this count. Totem is just as easy to use.Gnash is still in my system, btw; I don't want to break any dependencies.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Abrowser 34 recommending Flash?
Don't worry about removing Gnash (specifically, mozilla-plugin-gnash). It's only depended on by trisquel-recommended, which is a meta-package that depends on all packages recommended by the trisquel meta-package. I'd avoid removing the trisquel meta-package, so I can check if something is recommended for Trisquel with aptitude why, but as everything depended on by the trisquel-recommended package is also recommended by trisquel package, there's no harm or inconvenience in removing it.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Abrowser 34 recommending Flash?
when you click on active flash if you have gnash installed it uses gnash not flash i think its as abrowser is based on firefox
Re: [Trisquel-users] Abrowser 34 recommending Flash?
Thanks for your prompt answer! I found the Gnash thing in addons-manager-plugins, and set to 'never activate'; also a setting in about:config, now set to 'false'.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Abrowser 34 recommending Flash?
you say you set gnash to never activeate just to conferm gnash is free as in freedom software and works with some flash programs
Re: [Trisquel-users] Abrowser 34 recommending Flash?
Why would you disable Gnash? Gnash is a Free Software replacement of Flash. It's fantastic, and works with a lot of websites that otherwise wouldn't.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Abrowser 34 recommending Flash?
Because a lot of videos try to use Flash if you have it installed (but don't work with Gnash), and if you don't have Flash (or Gnash), they use HTML5 video. Also almost all Flash stuff is nonfree.
