My environment : I have a Linux Mint 64 bit Chromium 18.0.1025.168 (Developer Build 134367 Linux) Built on Ubuntu 12.04, running on LinuxMint 13 is installed Chrome was not installed on my system When I run a Web Application in NetBeans the built in web browser shows up. The problem : I create a HTML5 application in NetBeans I open the html.html created I click on the "Run index.html" button. A Dialog appears and tells me I must install the plugin. There is a button : "plugin is already installed now". I install 0.6.0 of the plugin in Chromium using the file I found using the locate link After the plugin is installed clicking on the "plugin is already installed now" just loops that dialog. I then install Google Chrome and follow the same steps and it works.
Now I am thinking - could it be because of bug 217267? Does it start to work after a while?
The final NB 7.3 release will require minimum version 21 of Chromium (see issue 222368 for more details). 18 is quite old and had problems handling Manifest version 2 (eg. issue 222020). If you have time could you please try to upgrade your Chromium (see last comment in the issue 222020 for help how to do that) and confirm whether it works or not (try to wait 5-10 seconds after plugin installation to see if it makes difference and the dialog disappears). Thanks.
Didn't we have some kind of version detection in place so the need to upgrade is reported to the user?
We do but it was added after Beta2
