Mozilla Doesn't Want Pepper for Linux Flash

Hmm I wonder if they will find another way around the flash for Linux issue?

A couple week ago, Adobe announced that is was abandoning Flash on Linux to Google. The idea being that Chrome integrates Flash and Google can be the place where Linux users go for Flash.
But what about Firefox? Why can't Firefox on Linux also get the same benefit?
As it turns out, that's a bug that Mozilla WONTFIX.
