Did you submit a Talkback feedback report?  If so, what's the incident ID #?

No, I have not submited a talkback report. Should I do that?

I can replicate the bug in other computers. Other people have confirmed the bug
too: see http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,12496163~mode=flat

Robert: sorry for being dumb.  I definitely see this, with a 2005-01-28-04 build
of Windows XP using the Viewpoint plugin.

Note that I just filed bug 280212 today, as well.  I wonder if the same bug is
causing these two?

Stephen,

Yes, it looks like it is somehow related.

There was a bug that caused a crash in Firefox when interacting with a 
Viewpoint media player scene. It is fixed in the latest build of the VMP 
(Viewpoint Media player) available at 
https://components.viewpoint.com/MTSInstallers/archive/3_3_0_29/VMPFullInstall_
3_3_0_29.exe but unfortunately the content referred to in this bug report is 
no longer available to verify it's the same issue.

jay: can we see about recommending people upgrade viewpoint if they continue to 
crash with this?
