[tor-bugs] #6727 [Firefox Patch Issues]: Plugins no longer loading in 2.3.20
#6727: Plugins no longer loading in 2.3.20
-------------------------------------+--------------------------------------
Reporter: slacka | Owner: mikeperry
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: major | Milestone:
Component: Firefox Patch Issues | Version: Tor: 0.2.3.20-rc
Keywords: tbb-alpha patch plugins | Parent:
Points: | Actualpoints:
-------------------------------------+--------------------------------------
OS: windows 7 64 bit
version: tor-browser-2.3.20-alpha-1_en-US
Steps to Reproduce:
1) Install tor-browser-2.3.20-alpha-1_en-US.exe
2) Copy plugins to FirefoxPortable\App\Firefox\plugins
3) Go to Torbutton Preferences->Security Settings->Dynamic Content tab and
unchecking "Disable plugins during Tor usage" box.
4) Restart
Expected Results: Plugins load and can be used
Actual Results: Only the flash plugin loads. I have tested with java,
foxit PDF viewer, and google talk.
Additional info:
In previous version, tor-browser-2.3.13-alpha, the above steps worked
perfectly. Now only flash will load.
I need to use tor to circumvent the Great Firewall of China. So I am not
so concerned about privacy issues that plugins may introduce. If all
plugins other than flash have been disabled, it should be noted somewhere.
Otherwise, I consider this a major bug.
BTW, good work on 2.3. It's great to be able to have free access to the
Internet again in China.
