[Bug 208514] [NEW] After installing flash plugin firefox needs to be restarted but isn't

[seanh]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

Using hardy beta. In firefox, visit a page that has a flash video
embedded, e.g. a youtube video. A bar at the top of the browser appears
saying the page needs plugins. Click on install plugin, go through the
install process, great. You find yourself back at the web page in
firefox, but the flash plugin is not yet working. Any embedded videos
will just be replaced by 'Click to install plugin', even though you just
installed it.

Restart firefox and visit the same page and the plugin works.

Quite confusing.
