html5 / Flash: What is shown under what case?

Is there any table yet?

If not, could you check and correct the results in that table:

System / Browser / Flash installed || output: html5 (flashfallback) / flash prefered (html5 fallback?)

Windows / Firefox 20+ / no || html5 / html5

Windows / Firefox 20+ / yes || html5 / flash

Windows / MS IE 7,8,9 / no || html5 / html5

Windows / MS IE 7,8,9 / yes || html5 / flash

Windows / MS IE 10 / no || html5 / html5

Windows / MS IE 10 / yes || html5 / flash

Windows / Safari / no || html5 / html5

Windows / Safari / yes || html5 / flash

Windows / Opera / no || html5 / html5

Windows / Opera / yes || html5 / flash

Windows / Chrome / no || html5 / html5

Windows / Chrome / yes || html5 / flash

MacOS / Safari / no || html5 / html5

MacOS / Safari / yes || html5 / flash


So, if my table is true, it means that the "html5 prefered with flashfallback" does not help on older browers that cannot show html5/css3 correctly,
as always the html5 is shown, also when it is displayed incorrectly because of the older browser.

In that case not only flash needs to be installed on the computer, but the flash prefered option needs to be activated also.

OR is that untrue and if a flashplayer is installed at the users PC the flash-version is shown automatically - also if we use as output the "html5 prefered with flashfallback" ??

Why do I ask that so much specific:
I have a customer who wants to have "html5 prefered" - but also an automatic flash fallback on older browsers IF they have flash installed.
Also there should be a hint for flash, if no flash is installed.
Is there any way with Pano2VR to setup this need?

If not, I have to setup a special browser-switch that links either the html5 or the flash output and does not use the fallback-solution of Pano2VR, right?
