0.5 consistently crashes on www.news.com.au site

do
about:plugins
to find out the name of the dll to search your system for.

I already done this (as i said 7 postings above)
Its an Flash-DLL in my Opera-Dir. But i never said Phoenix to use this one. Is there any possibility to forbit Phoenix searching for plugins (or maybe an option to disable flash at all)?

But i never had installed Flash. Why Phoenix by default is using any plugin he can find on my HD?

do about:plugins to find out the name of the dll to search your system for.

Or set

user_pref("plugin.expose_full_path", true);

to see where it exactly gets the plugins from.

I'm almost sure that you have installed it once, because afaik it doesn't come with any other program. Phoenix is scanning the disk to save people who have already installed plugins from the hassle of being asked to download it again. But I agree with alan that this should only be done once with a question to copy them to the Pheonix plugin dir.

Have you tried

user_pref("plugin.scan.4xPluginFolder", false);

as suggested before? If it doesn't work, do you want to use Flash with Opera? If not, the simple solution is to move NPSWF32.dll out of the Opera plugins dir.

thats a good idea. an option to ignore ALL flash code (and therefore not need the flash plugin) would be great. 99% of flash is gratuitous rubbish anyway <puts flameproof suit on>
