Please try to replicate on latest version of Midori: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=146670 This version should be in updates-testing soon if not already. Build doesn't seem to load plugins at all now... Is there is a way to ask midori for the plugins it has loaded? Firefox has the uri of about:plugins that you can open and it will give a list. Seems to work that way in chromium as well. Edit -> Preferences -> Behavior -> Enable Netscape Plugins Also: Tools -> Netscape Plugins ----- This will open the Netscape Plugins panel on the left side of the browser window (you can also detach it from the window using the icon in the top right corner of that panel). This machine I'm testing that 0.2.1 build on is Fedora 11 (though, 32-bit and not 64-bit) and it seems to have detected all plugins correctly. Ok, I had the option enabled and it shows they are loaded, but none of them work. When I go to flash.com, it asks me to install the flash player, which midori says is installed. I spoke with Midori upstream and it was suggested that this might be a webkit bug (which is believed to be fixed in a newer version of webkitgtk, which I'm not sure if is able to be built in Fedora 11). The suggested "quick fix" is to set your MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH environment variable and see if that will work. This message is a reminder that Fedora 11 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 11. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '11'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 11's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 11 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping Fedora 11 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2010-06-25. Fedora 11 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. Bug is still present in F12 and F13 |
