[mac bug triage] Tentatively tagging pepper as well here, but not sure if this happens with all plugins in general, not just Flash. CC'ing yzshen because of context into similar bugs (e.g. 150596).

Sorry but I haven't touched this code for years and my knowledge is outdated. 

No worries, thanks for your reply. Taking you off the CC list and adding Internals>Plugins>Flash who I think have their own triage process and will probably know more.

Unable to reproduce the issue on windows 7, Mac 10.12.2 using chrome version 56.0.2924.28  and stable 55.0.2883.87 with the below steps

Please find the attached screen cast and confirm if anything missed here?
Request you once please try the issue on new profile and update the thread.

pastarmovj@ - Could you please check whether this is caused with respect to your change, if not please help us in assigning it to the right owner.

Thanks...!!

I just tested it again, with Chrome 56.0.2924.28 on MacOS X 10.12.2.

1. Deactivate Flash
2. Closed the entire browser
3. Opened it again
4. Flash was turned back on.

This is a result of the intermediate state of the process of deprecating the chrome://plugins page. You can now control the plugin availability though the contents settings section of the main chrome://settings page. If you select the "blocked" state then the Flash plugin will not be available to any webpage. The pdf plugin is also controlled through there. All other plugins (NaCL and WideVine) are considered integral part of the browser and can not be disabled.

The enable/disable links are already removed (see https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=615738#c44). You might as well want to follow the linked bug because it tracks the progress of the whole chrome://plugins deprecation. 

I am sorry about the confusion of this intermediate state. The change is rather large and took longer than a release to be accomplished. 

but if you block flash in the chrome settings you will always get an annoying "Right-click to run adobe flash player" message...

and on some pages if HTML5 and flash content is available i will always have to right-click and "hide this add-in" to get over the flash-plugin and get the content in HTML5...

so i have loved the way to disable the flash plugin (have had it disabled for over a year now)
