Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Load a flex application that calls webservices in firefox
2. Use an (for the webservice) incorrect input => The webservice returns a SOAP fault with HTTP Code 500 (e.g. with Apache Tomcat)
3. Let the Flex application display the error message
Actual Results:  
Flex cannot display the message.

Expected Results:  
The message will be displayed.

Reporter -> Are you still experiencing this issue with the latest version of Firefox 5? Does the issue occur with the latest nightly? http://nightly.mozilla.org/

Firefox 5.0: 
The problem still occurs.

Nightly 8.0a1 (2011-07-26):
The problem does NOT occur anymore. The Flash application can now evaluate the content of the SOAP FAULT message correctly.
