I hate libnullplugin.so and so every time I reinstall Mozilla I have to delete it. I would like a way to totally disable it. I think disabling plugins has come up before and has never been implemented. If it will continue to stay unimplemented, do the world a favor and remove libnullplugin.so permanently.

I hate libnullplugin.so because it don't want the functionality it provides. I don't install flash. So everytime I go to http://www.amdmb.com/ with it I see the puzzle piece icon where the flash would be. It used to pop-up with the annoying dialog window too, but Redhat implemented a patch to get rid of the dialog window. I don't install flash because it is so often used for advertising and there isn't a way to selective block flash. I can also live without the flashy introductions to websites done in flash. It is also under Linux fairly buggy. The only good use for flash I have seen is cartoons done in flash, but not viewing them is a small price to pay for the rest of the problems with flash.

oh, the biggest problem can be avoided, if you mean that hang ;) hm.. I guess this could end as a dup to the Plugin manager (?)

So in the end: Isn't this rant just a dup of bug 61103? (and then dup of bug 83754)

jup. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 61103 ***

61103 is about the dialog. Redhat already uses a patch to disable the dialog. I don't want the puzzle piece either, aka want the effect I get by removing the plugin file without having to remove it since I doubt I can convince RedHat to stop including it. If it can't get that behavior without removal, REMOVE IT.

bug 61103 is a dupe of bug 83754 which is a complete rewrite of the null plugin.

This is a dup of the "plugin manager" RFE. That would allow you to disable plugins on a case-by-case basis.

do it so *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 19118 ***
