[oi-dev] FF 43b6 integration

[ken mays]

Hello,
Yes.
As for any plugin wrapper issues with Flash:
The industry giants are pushing away from any 'official' Flash support in browsers and the legacy Flash pluginsfor Solaris are now a potential security risk. This means any Flash plugin <= 11.2.x.x is now under UNOFFICIAL or FORBIDDEN (aka use only with care) use status when used on any Solaris/OpenSolaris-related OS platform during Internet use - especially in any business or academic environment.
Thanks,Ken

 Hello.
I'd like to ask for your opinions. Thanks to Martin we have new FF 
version 
(https://github.com/pyhalov/oi-userland/tree/firefox/components/firefox).

There is one issue with new version:
- first of all, plugin wrapper sometimes crashes with Adobe Flash Player 
10, it's not random, it crashes on some specific applications and 
operations,
and it's a regression.

However, it's much more recent and has a lot of security fixes compared 
to our FF. Also a lot of sites require fresh FF. Google docs started 
complaining
about our FF version. I've tested icedtea plugin and it works with new 
FF. Also Adobe Flash player 10 works with a lot of flash applications.
Shumway is supported by new FF, but it's not ideal, a lot of sites are 
not supported. BTW, I've seen that several sites switched from flash to 
HTML5
players with new FF.

So, the question is, should we update default OI Hipster FF to this 
version? I'd say yes. What do you think?
