Bug Description

If an Epiphany user views a page which uses plugins such as Flash, the user sees the same 'Click here to download plugin' they would see in Firefox. However, in Epiphany clicking on the link does nothing.

This message should probably either be supressed, or changed so that it works properly to do what it says it's supposed to.

I am still experiencing this issue in Ubuntu 7.10 (64bit). I notice the second link above is broken. Is there anything to update in regards to this bug?

Is this a dupe of Bug #36544 ?

Looks like it probably is.
