126904 - flash movie not loaded if browser.cache.disk.enable set false

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 116562

(Core Graveyard :: Plug-ins, defect)

Description

Hi,

I don't know why my bugzilla can't detect the version of my browser - this is a
Mozilla 0.9.8 compiled from source.

I came across an interesting problem when I edited an entry in
mozilla/default/pref/all.js. When I modified this entry:

pref("browser.cache.disk.enable",           true);

to

pref("browser.cache.disk.enable",           false);

Any Flash Movie (swf) would not load. This means the area that the embedded
flash would just become blank - even though "about:plugins" shows the plug in
present.

I've since found out that this option doesn't really do anything because under
Linux we use unix.js, but it is interesting how this totally unrelated option
would cause flash movies not loaded.

The version of the Macromedia Flash Plugin is Flash5.0r47. Verified
distributions are Debian Potato and Debian Woody. Mozilla 0.9.8 compiled from
source with the following options:

ac_add_options --enable-xinerama
ac_add_options --disable-logging
ac_add_options --disable-tests
ac_add_options --disable-accessibility
ac_add_options --enable-crypto
ac_add_options --enable-jsd
ac_add_options --disable-ldap
ac_add_options --enable-mathml
ac_add_options --enable-optimize
ac_add_options --enable-strip-libs
ac_add_options --disable-debug
ac_add_options --disable-svg

Final Note, this didn't happen in Mozilla 0.9.5 (the last release we were using
here.)

Cheers,

Alastair
