I've raised a bug here: https://trisquel.info/en/issues/10048

I've noticed that the current version of abrowser tells me to install flash on certain websites, via an icon next the the address bar (just left of the favicon).

There's a little "plugin" icon, and if you click on it, a dialog box appears that says "Would you like to install the plugin needed to display the media on this page?" Along with a clickable button that says "Install Flash".

Clicking the button launches the "Plugin Finder", which of course doesn't install Flash, but I'm still concerned that the default browser in Trisquel recommends non-free software to its users.

Thank you for your bug report. I believe its priority should be "critical".

The notice should say "enable Gnash."
