1167978 - [e10s] Blinking flash

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1152109

(Firefox :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

[csamborski]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:40.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/40.0
Build ID: 20150524004010

Steps to reproduce:

1) Activate e10s
2) Visit the following website with Flash content: http://www.650km.com/public/accueil.html

Note that I tried to restart in safe mode (no add-ons) and there was NO bug. Then I restarted with add-ons and deactivated all of them manually to find which one was responsible for the bug. With all add-ons manually disabled, e10s activated and normal mode (not safe mode) the blinking was still there so I don't know why it works in safe mode but not in normal mode without addons.
Without e10s there is no blinking.


Actual results:

The clock animation and the banner (both Flash) were blinking. Here is a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cU4VeYhh7H0


Expected results:

Both Flash animations should not blink

pretty sure this is a dupe...  I'll find it.

I think bug 116773 was the one I was thinking of.  But this wouldn't be a dupe unless APZ is involved here.

When I load this page in nightly, I get shumway for the clock. I'm guessing something landed recently that added this. There's probably a way to turn this off so we can use the site as a test case.

Probably a dupe of bug 1152326 or a related bug as well.

I could reproduce on my profile. I have set shumway.disabled to true.
