This is apparently causing crashes in some of this WebKitGTK+ apps. You can see that with this command: strace /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/webkit2gtk-4.0/MiniBrowser --enable-plugins=FALSE <some-URL> Original bug report here: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=859100 1294832 1 kapouer 2017-04-06 02:22:15 -0700 Hello, if the pluginInfoStore is not preloaded elsewhere, the behavior i'm seeing might be just right there: --- a/Source/WebKit2/UIProcess/WebPageProxy.cpp +++ b/Source/WebKit2/UIProcess/WebPageProxy.cpp @@ -1315,8 +1315,9 @@ #if ENABLE(NETSCAPE_PLUGIN_API) String newMimeType = mimeType; + if (!m_preferences->pluginsEnabled()) return false; PluginModuleInfo plugin = m_process->processPool().pluginInfoStore().findPlugin(newMimeType, URL()); - if (!plugin.path.isNull() && m_preferences->pluginsEnabled()) + if (!plugin.path.isNull()) return true; #endif // ENABLE(NETSCAPE_PLUGIN_API) 1294869 2 mcatanzaro 2017-04-06 07:31:17 -0700 That patch looks sane to me. Now does it work? :) 1294892 3 kapouer 2017-04-06 08:29:42 -0700 It doesn't. I'll try something else later. 1419829 4 aperez 2018-05-02 13:49:21 -0700 (In reply to Jérémy Lal from comment #3) > It doesn't. I'll try something else later. Hi Jérémy! By any chance, did you get to try something else in the end? 1680791 5 cgarcia 2020-08-17 06:46:39 -0700 Plugins are no longer supported.
