Please provide more information about your environment - which OS you are using, which port of WebKit, and which browser.

I work on Ubuntu 9.04 and webkit check out form truck few days ago and sorry for I am not familiar with which port you mentioned . there are two browsers into my computer firefox and webkit now .
I installed webkit few days ago and try to surf internet , found movies on net are not able to see but firefox is working after install plugins . I wonder why when I surf internet by webkit . it actually has no any screen pops up or clue to tell me which plugins I have to install .
what else I miss , when I complie Webkit so I don't have right to install plugins ?

Mass closing plug-in bugs, as plug-in support has been removed from WebKit.

Please comment and/or reopen if this still affects WebKit in some way.
