Alexandru, is this in a VM or on physical hardware? We've had numerous issues with plugins not working in VMs but working on real hardware.

avrignaud, heads-up: can you inform Unity about this? I don't think we're going to spend time diagnosing this, but they should be aware and if they figure out what's going on we can coordinate on fixes.

I will let them know, but they are EOLing the Unity Player Plugin and encouraging developers to move to the web. And have also announced that they will not be maintaining the plugin going forward. So, they may not prioritize this. http://blogs.unity3d.com/2015/10/08/unity-web-player-roadmap/

This was tested on a physical hardware iMac (Late 2012), 2,7 GHz Intel Core i5 with NVIDIA GeForce GT 640M 512MB Graphics running macOS Sierra 10.12 Beta (16A239j)Developer Preview.

This site looks OK to me using the latest Developer Preview (16A254G) and the latest Nightly. Can you retest on your hardware?

Hi, Marcia and sorry for the late response. I was on PTO.
 I have retested the issue on the latest macOS Sierra Developer Preview (16A270f) with the latest build of Nightly 51.0a1 (id: 20160808030441) and the issue was reproducible. Please see the attachment. 
Please ni? me if there's anything else I can help with.

I think this must be graphics card specific, as I still can see the content on http://www.y8.com/games/slope on the latest nightly using Developer Beta 16A294a.

Alexandru: It might be helpful to add your graphics info from about:support, just to see which card you are running on.

Hello,

I've tested this issue on a NVidia GeForce 640M Graphics Card.

Thanks. My graphics card is NVIDIA Corporation -- NVIDIA GeForce 320M OpenGL Engine, and it works fine. So this seems to definitely be graphic card specific.

We have reproduced this issue with the same STR from Comment #0 on a MacBook Pro that has a Intel Iris Pro 6100 (1536 MB) Graphics Card on 

- Firefox RC 49 build 3 (id: 20160912134115)
- Nightly 51.0a1 (id: 20160914030200)

Please note that this issue is only reproducible on MacOS 10.12 Sierra.

We're not going to track this further. It's likely a Unity plugin bug, and they have been informed. Also plugins will be obsolete starting with 52.
