Hi,

How does one un-allow a site they have allowed to use GNU SWF Player in their browser,
please?

Add to your ~/.gnashpluginrc a line like this:

set blacklist http://a.site

See also the "whitelist" directive, if non-empty it will override
the blacklist directive, as documented in:
https://www.gnu.org/software/gnash/manual/gnashuser.html#gnashrc

I see there's also a visual editor with the GTK gui
(edit->Preferences->Security), but it doesn't seem to work here.

Thank you, Sandro.
I do not have a .gnashrc on my box. So, Firefox is regulating this
somewhere else. Do you know where Firefox is defining this list of
information?

For the plugin, it would be ~/.gnashpluginrc

If I setup this.gnashrc file, will Firefox start using itor will I need
to modify Firefox to use it?

No modification needed, just keep using it.

Thank you.

I spent time looking on the web and found flash settings in Firefox
reside in the permissions.sqlite file.


Some commands to share with others who run into this conundrum.


find . -iname permissions.sqlite

ACCESSING YOUR RESPECTIVE permissions.sqlite FILE:
sqlite3 ~/.mozilla/firefox/YOUR_PROFILE/permissions.sqlite

sqlite3 ~/.thunderbird/YOUR_PROFILE/permissions.sqlite


SETUP UP PRETTY CLI:
sqlite> .headers on
sqlite> .mode column


LOOK THINGS OVER:
sqlite> .databases

sqlite> .tables


SELECT * FROM moz_hosts where type is "plugin:flash";

SELECT DISTINCT type FROM moz_hosts;



sqlite> SELECT DISTINCT type FROM moz_hosts;
type
--------------------
desktop-notification
plugin:flash
offline-app
plugin-vulnerable:ja
plugin-hidden-notifi
sqlite>

So, I take it type of plugin:flash is what I am after...?

I am hesitant to change any field values without knowing the outcome of
changing this or that. Where can I get a list of how to edit these
entries, should I need to change something in the future?



Thank You,

Those have nothing to do with Gnash configuration

Is your problem than you don't see firefox using Gnash at all ?
Going to the about:plugins page should tell you what's being used
as a plugin for flash, if anything. If Gnash doesn't show up you
might have missed to run "make install-plugins" (assuming you're
building this yourself)
