i see this one on windows too. cpu goes to 100% after  I click on 2-3 random 
links on the page (I did not install the font that was required on this page). I 
see a lot of pop ups flooding on the screen and then the browser just stops 
responding.

Same problem on linux 2001121715 at http://www.7up.com

Comment 4

[Peter Lubczynski]

is this a new problem (regression) or an exsisting one (dup)?

Comment 5

[shrirang khanzode]

Surely, this is not happening for all flash pages, BUT, the 7up page and the 
above test url do really slow tdown the machine and it's difficult to navigate 
since the cpu goes to 100%. I think this is new, there might be a few similar 
bugs..I will try to find dups.

http://www.7up.com is probably a dup of 115808 and it's linux only regression ,
but win32 platform problem in general (100% cpu loading when flash plugin is 
playing some *.swf ) is not new, 4.x has the same problem. BTW linux plugin 
could work fine with the same file. I haven't try it on mac.

Attachment: an example of .swf which eats ~100% cpu on w2k

here is an example of such .swf file I've borrowed from http://news.sina.com.cn

I ran into this at http://www.port.am/maprus/framesrus.html
(goes computedbound, UI freezes).  I'm currently running
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; WinNT4.0; en-US; rv:1.0rc1) Gecko/20020417
with Shockwave Flash 5.0 r41

With Netscape 6.22, slightly different symptoms - goes computebound,
but the UI still responds.

With Netscape 4.79, works fine (if slowly - low bandwidth part of the
web, I think).

I can't yet say whether http://news.sina.com.cn fails for me - it's
still loading after about 10 minutes.

The plug-ins triage team (av, beppe, peterl, serge and shrir) have reviewed this
issue and have made the following determination:

This is a dup of bug 132759, even though this was reported prior to that bug.
