Of course, since mozplugger is itself a plugin, and is no longer supported by firefox, it makes sense that we should remove this. It should probably be removed from Debian as well, so I won't blacklist it for the moment. ** Changed in: mozplugger (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Triaged --

[Bug 1715030] Re: Please remove firefox from artful on ppc64el

Wow, there's a lot of extensions there. Those should probably all be removed from the archive, given that we offer no support for those and there are better ways to install them. Plugins other than Flash are all blocked in Firefox now, and there is no override for these. They might still work in

[Bug 1715030] Re: Please remove firefox from artful on ppc64el

meta-gnome2 must either drop the dependency on firefox/chromium on ppc64el, or drop the gnome-core package on ppc64el. (The latter probably means dropping meta-gnome2 entirely on this architecture and can be done by either adding a build-dep on firefox or by excluding the architecture.) **

Re: [Bug 1715030] Re: Please remove firefox from artful on ppc64el

I'm not sure if there are still any third party NPAPI plugins out there. I believe they're disabled by default now, but still overridable, so it might make sense to keep mozplugger for the time being. Chris can correct me if I'm mistaken here. -- You received this bug notification because you

[Bug 1715030] Re: Please remove firefox from artful on ppc64el

Jeremy, your suggested resolution for mozplugger is to remove it and blacklist it. Blacklisting implies that Debian wants to keep the package, but Ubuntu wants to get rid of it. Why does that apply here? If mozplugger is no longer useful with current browsers, it would be better to remove it
