Sorry goofed on the URL, I can reproduce this on the following links:

Just noticed that the video player on 
http://on.aol.com/video/the--10k-hoverboard-518473552
can not be controlled.

I filed the bug 1086671 today, which deals with flash's context menu being displayed at the bottom left of the screen with e10s enabled.

( https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1086671 )

This gave me the idea that the flash player's clickable area is also located at the bottom left of the screen, this indeed seems to be the case.

If I move the Firefox Window such that the flash plugins area inside the webpage starts at bottom left, then I can indeed click on stuff displayed in the flashplugin.

Seems that both bugs are caused by the same root cause.

Folks I just retested this and it is still reproducible, however it does not seem to be an e10s issue,
since I can reproduce this now with e10s OFF.

Tested with the URL http://www.twitch.tv/requiem720/c/5422624

On Firefox Build
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64; rv:36.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/36.0 ID:20141107073659 CSet: b62ccf3228ba

So I guess the e10s flag should be removed

I can still reproduce this on OS X. When I right-click on the twitch.tv video:

* In a non-e10s window, Flash's context menu opens and I can select the Flash "Settings..." menu item.
* In an e10s window, nothing happens (or, if an ad is playing, a new tab opens with the ad link).

This bug might be related to the Flash fullscreen focus bug 1056385.

Comment 7

[Jim Mathies [:jimm]]

Lets get this in a milestone, it's still a valid bug.  

There are probably two bugs here - windowless and windowed. Windowless is likely going to be affected by the coordinate bug 1092121. Windowed should be fine but I'm seeing odd position behavior in sub frames.

This works for me on OSX and Bob on Windows. Reopen if you have more precise STR
