[Gnash] Plugin not recognized by mozilla?

[annonygmouse]

Hi folks.

Mozilla does not seem to recognise the gnash plugin. At first sight
I thought it was mozilla's fault, but I'm not that sure now.

The flash frames appear with the default image when mozilla does not
find a plugin for the file. And whan clicking on the frame it says:
"This page contains information of a type
(application/x-shockwave-flash) that can only be viewed with the
apropiate Plug-in.

But it appears in the plugins list:
Shockwave Flash 8.0

    File name: libgnashplugin.so
    Gnash, a GPL'd Flash Player. More details at
http://www.gnu.org/software/gnash

MIME Type       Description     Suffixes        Enabled
application/x-shockwave-flash   Shockwave Flash 8.0     swf     Yes

I've tried to strace mozilla-bin and it appears to locate the plugin files:
stat("/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libgnashplugin.so",
{st_mode=S_IFREG|0755, st_size=419355, ...}) = 0
stat("/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libgnashplugin.so",
{st_mode=S_IFREG|0755, st_size=419355, ...}) = 0
lstat("/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libgnashplugin.so",
{st_mode=S_IFREG|0755, st_size=419355, ...}) = 0
stat("/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libgnashplugin.so",
{st_mode=S_IFREG|0755, st_size=419355, ...}) = 0
lstat("/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libgnashplugin.so",
{st_mode=S_IFREG|0755, st_size=419355, ...}) = 0
stat("/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libgnashplugin.so",
{st_mode=S_IFREG|0755, st_size=419355, ...}) = 0
stat("/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libgnashplugin.so",
{st_mode=S_IFREG|0755, st_size=419355, ...}) = 0
access("/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libgnashplugin.so", F_OK) = 0
lstat("/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libgnashplugin.so",
{st_mode=S_IFREG|0755, st_size=419355, ...}) = 0
stat("/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libgnashplugin.so",
{st_mode=S_IFREG|0755, st_size=419355, ...}) = 0
lstat("/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libgnashplugin.so",
{st_mode=S_IFREG|0755, st_size=419355, ...}) = 0
stat("/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libgnashplugin.so",
{st_mode=S_IFREG|0755, st_size=419355, ...}) = 0
stat("/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libgnashplugin.so",
{st_mode=S_IFREG|0755, st_size=419355, ...}) = 0
access("/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libgnashplugin.so", F_OK) = 0

And in the gnash-db.log says:
portatildebian64:~/.mozilla# cat gnash-dbg.log
19:40:07: TRACE: void NS_PluginShutdown() enter
19:40:07: Plugin already shut down
19:40:09: TRACE: void NS_PluginShutdown() enter
19:40:09: Plugin already shut down

Any idea of what's happening?
This has happened for a week or so (sources grabbed from CVS).

Note: In case the previous way of running gnash (via mozplugger) was
interfering, I've commented the SWF section in mozplugger and
removed the /home/jo/.mozilla/pluginreg.dat so mozilla creates again
the plugin database. So the plugins database should be "clean" :)

Kind regards.
