Re: Gnash not detected in 2.0 or 3.0 for me

[Éamon Ryan]

about:plugins shows only the default plugin.

Also I'm not sure if it makes a difference but the icons for my null plugin and gnash plugin are the same (the one for executables usually) except obviously for the symlink arrow, however the other ones have the page with writing icon, symlink arrow and a padlock.

Though I imagine if that was making a difference then gnash would be working and not the others.

Type about:plugins in the address bar. I find it to be the safest way
to see if the plugins are being used.
