Build ID: 20160123151951

Steps to reproduce:

Install Flash Beta 21.0.0.130
Install Firefox Beta 45.0b1

1 - Go to http://www.netromedia.com/video/video-streaming-examples/
2 - Scroll down until you notice "View Stream" Buttons in red
3 - Go through entire list of examples.
4 - Observe BUG / ISSUES

NOTE: IF user would disable "enable hardware acceleration" in the Firefox options > advanced menu this issue does not happen.

Note: This does not happen with other flash versions (like v20) and Firefox v45 B1.
Note: This does not happen with Flash Beta 21.0.0.130 and current Firefox 44 release.





Actual results:

Each example does not work.

Usually I am shown a flash crash message.

Firefox 45.0b2 = Does not crash but still non-functional players. UI rendering is broken. Unusable overall. Some examples just produce a white box and no flash player is loaded.

I had QA retest using Flash Beta 21.0.0.236. 

QA was still able produce the issues described above.

Stefan, can you do some targeted testing of this? It's likely to be specific to certain graphics configurations, so you may need to get hardware details from Andrew if he's still available to help.

Ben + Stefan,

I have not seen this issue with latest builds of Flash Beta.

This issue was originally created ~10 months ago and I believe the issues may have resolved itself.
Feel free to close this issue if your team is just cleaning up a 10+ month old backlog.
