[Bug 199460] Re: Firefox can never install flash plugins on Gutsy or Hardy

[Brian Murray]

I ran into this today when going to youtube in Firefox on Kubuntu after
installing from the 20080417.1 daily build.

** Changed in: firefox-3.0 (Ubuntu)
   Importance: Undecided => Medium
       Status: Fix Released => Confirmed

** Description changed:

+ LATEST ISO TESTED:
+ 20080417.1
+ 
  Binary package hint: firefox-3.0
  
  When visiting a site such as youtube Firefox informs me I don't have the
  capability to play flash and therefore to install a plugin. The
  installation always fails and directs me to a manual install.
  
  This problem occurred after an upgrade from gutsy to hardy using update
  manager -d. Firefox 2, which I used in gutsy was able to play flash
  without a problem. Reinstalling plugins from Synaptic had no effect.
  
  After accepting the adobe agreement it downloads the file then displays
  the error message : Malformed File
  
  "Firefox could not install this item because "install-erz..rdf"
  (provided by the item) is not well-formed or does not exist. Please
  contact the author about this problem."
  
  More information available on request.
  
  Cheers
