Ok, I've created the FLASHBLOCK_1_5_CLEANUP branch in CVS for this. It 
will have minVersion = 1.5, it won't have any contents.rdf files, it 
won't have timeouts, and I'll try to find the hacks we used to get it to 
work on FF 1.0.x and remove them. The XBL refactoring in flashblock.xml 
was to a great extent already there, I can't remember what we still 
needed to to.

Anything else we can take care of?

I don't know. I don't think even Asa knows though... :)

Shall I remove these from install.rdf, or are we keeping them in there 
on the off-chance that they will get the toolkit extension manager? I 
will also remove Thunderbird: who installs Flash player in thunderbird 
anyway...

Ok, when the 1.5 code is tested we can cut a 1.3.x branch off the trunk 
prior to merging the 1.5 changes.

Wow, cool. :)

Ok, I'll drop that from install.rdf too.

Pathetic!!! On the other hand, I don't know anyone who actually uses it, 
so...


Cheers,
