I let it proceed and was then greeted by an ad for Norton Internet Security.Īfter declining the offer, Internet Explorer succeeded in installing the latest and greatest edition of the Shockwave Player (below). And, it really should say, because 11.6.4 is bad while 11.6.5 is good. Which version of version 11.6, it doesn't say. When Shockwave is not installed, Internet Explorer 8 prompts to install version 11.6. It fails to auto-install Flash, Java and Shockwave. This gives Firefox 12 a trifecta, at least on Windows.
Fortunately, since this is a buggy, vulnerable version of Shockwave, the installation fails. Next to this message is a button to install the missing plugin.Ĭlicking the button causes Firefox to try and install the Adobe Shockwave Player version 11.6.4.634.
If Shockwave is not installed, Firefox 12 displays a yellow bar at top of the web page window stating that "Additional plugins are required to display all the media on this page". Depending on how the browser is configured, it may download automatically or it may prompt for a folder to store the file. If the Shockwave Player is not installed, Chrome 18 tries to download a file called dir.dcr (below). This is what Windows users can expect at that page. That reports on the currently installed version of the Shockwave Player.
