adding bug 58339 (linux/unix)
[Flash plugin (presumably 5.0 r47 only) hangs mozilla, when it's trying to play 
audio, while audio device is active. (Reproducible with some [e.g. es1371] sound

The work around is to use old flash 4.0, posted into 58339 bug report,
see comment #135, 194, 195, 196, 233

Still freezing even with Macromedia Flash Player 6.0 Beta...I made this test
with www.ford.it, that with 5.0 didn't work at all, now I can enter the site,
but in the car configuration page, I get a freeze

I think Bug 191003 and Bug 195918 (probably a duplicate of 191003) are also
possible dependencies of this bug.

[Greg Edwards]

Flashplayer 7 doesn't appear to work well in Mozilla 1.4,1.5,1.6, Netscape 7.1.
Some images just don't show up. Some flash doesn't work.

Would bug 228228 be an appropriate blocker for this?

Comment 14

outdated and such
