Screen shot of Oracle Java version test
Just tried Fedora 19 and it works as expected The plugin description is get directly from the plugin. And we have the same Firefox version on all Fedoras. Plus the Oracle Java plugin is a closed-source software...so I don't believe it's a bug in Firefox. Martin, It is not a belief or faith matter, like in open source vs the closed source infidels. It is about testing and reproducing. I tested in both 19 and 18. Did you test in any? Can you reproduce it? That would be enough to send me upstream. Well, frankly I'm not going to install Oracle Java on my Fedora box. It's a closed source software with possible security holes. And Fedora does not ship it...so we don't even support it. Anyway, the plugin claims its name/version via NPAPI calls (see http://gplflash.sourceforge.net/gplflash2_blog/npapi.html#SEC9) so it does not depend on Firefox. Firefox just shows what the plugin posts by NP_GetValue(). And when the same Firefox version shows different plugin responses, I don't expect it's a problem in Firefox itself. |
