Bug #6366
Research whether the browser can detect that Flash is needed
0%
Description
When visiting a webpage that requires Flash, many pages propose to install Adobe Flash. This obviously doesn’t work in Tails but still it might confuse users.
If it is possible to detect that Flash is required on a page, the browser might be able to display a smart warning that explain that this is not possible in Tails, and redirect to the relevant documentation.

A recent commit (1ba17263) in TTP’s
https://git.torproject.org/tor-browser.git (tor-browser-17.0.9esr-1
branch) sets plugins.hide_infobar_for_missing_plugin to true,
and references https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/9012.
Perhaps that would be enough?

- Status changed from Confirmed to Resolved
Since the browser no longer suggests to install Flash, the users are no longer confused and I close this bug.
