Description Maciej Florek 2009-12-01 05:54:40 PST
File
http://trac.webkit.org/browser/trunk/WebCore/plugins/PluginDatabase.cpp

Function
PluginPackage* PluginDatabase::pluginForMIMEType(const String& mimeType)

Last to lines and case - there can be situation, where adobe flash plugins in 
different versions are installed in different locations 
(i.e. \program files\thunderbird\plugins and \windows\adobe\).

In such case, the code mentioned above choose plugin in lower version, what often
leads to crashes, because older version of flash players are some faulty.

Based on below commit:

https://github.com/WebKit/WebKit/commit/6436208aea2068805937c16a62cf97b57503e33f

Plugindatabase.cpp is gone now.

Can this be marked as "RESOLVED INVALID" or "RESOLVED WONTFIX" or "RESOLVED DUPLICATE OF Bug 226410"? Thanks!
