[Bug 590000] [NEW] firefox hangs for the duration adobe-flash-plugin is being installed

[Anish]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox

Distribution
========
OS Description: Ubuntu maverick (development branch)
Release: 10.10-alpha1-amd64
System Architecture: amd64

Package Information
===============
firefox:
  Installed: 3.6.3+nobinonly-0ubuntu4
  Candidate: 3.6.3+nobinonly-0ubuntu4
  Version table:
 *** 3.6.3+nobinonly-0ubuntu4 0

        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

Bug Description
============
On firefox, when a site containing flash was opened, the usual popup suggesting to install missing plugins appeared. When I clicked the searh/install button, the plugin finder service launched as expected and suggested some options of available flash plugins. When I tried to install the "Adobe flash plugin" (which was one of the listed options), the firefox screen froze until the plugin was downloaded and actually installed. In parallel, another window appeared suggesting that I either "Force Quit" the application or "Wait" further (I obviously waited ;-) ). 

This is probably more of a annoyance than a bug, but should be corrected
nevertheless.
