This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.

Bug still reproducible with Firefox 1.0.7

Comment 7

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

Please answer the question I asked in comment 1.  And please check with Firefox
1.5 beta 2.  1.0.7 is just 1.0 with security fixes, so it's code from a year and
a half ago.

>Is the page setting wmode on the flash plugin
I'm not sure about what this mean, anyway the flash <object...> section 
includes a <param name="wmode" value="transparent"> tag.

That <object> is IE-only.  We're rendering the <embed>, which doesn't use wmode.
  If it did, things would work.
