143580 - Mozilla hangs and may halt Windows with this Flash

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 132759

(Core Graveyard :: Plug-ins, defect)

Description

[/\/\arcio Galli]

I got this from Evangelism Latin America Effort. Terra is a major portal in
Brazil. They have also one Flash animation and menu. Here are the steps to
reproduce:

1) click on the small map of Brazil in the left top. 
2) a new page comes up with the big map of the country. 
3) click in one state. 

Results: 
Mozilla hangs. In one case also halted my Win98. I tested and confirmed with
WinXP and Win98.

Shrirang, 

do you think it's a flash problem? The evangelism folks from Brazil tested also
with IE, but I still don't have that data. I guess was working fine.

IE 5.5. on my box is taking the same time/cpu usage( 100%)

Marcio, this is an evangelism bug. If 4.x and IE are doing the same thing, then
it could be a problem with content. 

My 1.0 branch with JRE 1.4 on WinXP does peg the cpu but does not hang.
