As reported on mozillapl.org:
Can't play games on http://www.shockwave.com/sw/games/. After pressing Play
Mozilla gets redirected to error page which kindly tells you to download
Shockwave player. Bug 96332 describes similiar behaviour and this is one is
probably the same problem.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open say: http://www.shockwave.com/sw/content/tankwars
2. Hit Play (upper left side).


Actual Results:  
http://www.shockwave.com/sw/error/shockwave.html is displayed with kindly advice
to download new plugin version although the newest is installed.

Expected Results:  
We want to play ;)

Couple or other games checked by me have the same thing. Reported on Win XP and
confirmed on Linux.
 
  Here's how they check browsers:

  and how they play the content:

Hold on with checking that bug.. 
It seems like it's our MozillaPL's problem or rather a Shockwave installer looks
only for Mozilla en-US or something.
Disregard also comments about Linux ;)

Yup. Looks like Shockwave installer doesn't recognize localized Mozilla builds.
 Filed another bug to cover that: Bug 170374 and I'm marking this one as invlid.
