When I restarted Firefox after updating it on my Fedora 14 system, I was presented with this:

I never installed Adobe Flash Player on this system.

For what it is worth, I use Gnash and, barring the occasional resource leaks, it has been providing me with my daily dosage of Youtube.

  1. HTML5 FTW! WebM FTW! Theora FTW! Vorbis FTW! ffmpeg FTW! GStreamer FTW! Flash WTF! πŸ˜‰

  2. Please file a bug in bugzilla.mozilla.org and we’ll see if we can fix the page.

    Perhaps Gnash identifies itself as Flash so sites still send Flash content.

  3. This is really fascinating. I had this kind of situation once when I was using Gnash and then this suddenly came up. Anyway, thanks a lot for posting!
