Details

Most current Flash / Shockwave plugin (5) for Linux when untarred to
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins causes browser to hang when navigating to flash-enabled
site. When components are removed, just get standard 'no such plugin' error on
same page.

Platform: RH 8.0 / Mozilla 1.0.1-26
WFM, current CVS, Linux.

Resolving as duplicate of flash bug 58339, which has been mentioned in the
mozilla release notes for years now. Please add comment if other flash enabled
pages work while /dev/dsp is busy. If you use the KDE sound deamon, try starting
mozilla with "artsdsp mozilla" - it might cure the freeze.

There are also some version of Flash 6 beta for Linux out, attempting to solve
that freeze and other bugs.
