When the user visits a site containing an unknown/blocklisted plugin we will display a notification bar saying that Firefox is looking for a plugin to use for the content. At this point it will send details to the PFS webservice of what application is looking for a plugin and what mimetype it is trying to display. The PFS webservice will give either no results or an install link. | |||
When an install is available Firefox will update the notification bar to say that "Flash 9.0 is available" and give an install button. The install button can either open a new webpage for installs requiring EULAs etc. or start download of an installer which will be executed after download is complete. | |||
When an install is not available Firefox will update the notification bar to say as much. | |||
