Greetings ladies and gentlemen.

Why Abrowser works that well?

Let me put examples:

-In firefox and iceweasel I have problems to reproduce mp* audio and video without flashpluguin, not in Abrowser.

-Linterna mágica does not work well on firefox and iceweasel but does on Abrowser flawlessly.

Why is that?

Could it be the Totem plugins that Trisquel has installed by default?

What version is your IceWeasel? The only differences between Abrowser and Firefox are the branding, the free-as-in-freedom addons list, and some changed default settings (mainly for privacy). I don't think there's much more than that, although I submitted a patch to the package helper to patch Abrowser for KDE (but no one replied)

I'm running Trisquel and Abrowser myself and I am developing Linterna
Mágica with that. If I spot issues, I spot them on what I have and I
fix them. For the rest I rely on bug reports. Probably nobody filed
issues about Firefox and Iceweasel. At work I have a copy of Firefox
which has some issues on YouTube with Linterna Magica, but I never have
the time to investigate and possibly fix them. Theoretically Firefox and
Iceweasel should work and behave like Abrowser.

Maybe the difference is the version number?

Icarolongo, it worked, now I can listen to jamendo's samples:

about:config > media.gstreamer.enabled worked.

The next step is to make linterna mágica work properly on iceweasel.
For some reason, vlc and totem plugins do not work well under linterna but, in the other hand, their functionality is correct as standalone.

Iceweasel version: 24.4.0

Thank you

Could you please file a bug report for Linterna Mágica with detailed
information what is not working? The only control I have over plugins is
to start a clip and use their JavaScript API for the web buttons.

Ok ivaylo, I'll try. But before doing that, I want to be sure that it is not fault of my configuration, because midori and other browsers do not have the same issues. I don't want to load you up with more work only to realize later that it's nothing to do with the script itself.

Thank you.
