Hi,

Finally I succeeded to obtain an installable app with the following tutoria=
l: =


http://joliclic.free.fr/mozilla/howto/dist-xul-app/en/chapter_4.php#howto_d=
xr_4.4

In this sample, Firefox is used to launch the xulrunner app.
The application works fine with Firefox 20.0 but doesn't work with Firefox =
23.0. =

Details: My application needs Flash and another third party plugin. The Fla=
sh plugin is executed  and works in each case. The third party plugin is al=
ways listed in the plugin manager but it is executed only with Firefox 20.0=
. (The plugin works however with any Firefox version when it is executed in=
 the browser). With Firefox 23 the plugin isn't launched (invisible in the =
task manager).

My final goal is to bundle the app with a given version of xulrunnner. I mo=
dified the sample in order to use a bundle framework but the issue is the s=
ame with all xulrunner versions: the third party plugin is listed in the pl=
ugin manager but it isn't launched with the app.

So currently  the only functional case is to launch the app with firefox 20=
.0 but it is not suitable for the project. Can anyone help me to get a bund=
le application functional with third party plugin and Flash Player?
Thanks in advance.
