User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; WOW64; rv:51.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/51.0
Build ID: 20161028004017

Steps to reproduce:

Just updating FF. No change at all in the source code of my web site (www.bodxl.fr)


Actual results:

Recent update of Firefox (I don't know exactly, something about 47, 48, 49) does not support anymore Flash transparency. Please have a look on my (old) website: www.bodxl.fr. Watch le left menu and top title.

The HTML code is correct:

<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0" width="350" height="53"><param name="movie" value="/pic/template/SubMenu/title.swf"><param name="quality" value="high"><param name="wmode" value="transparent"><param name="FlashVars" value="title_id=index"><embed src="/pic/template/SubMenu/title.swf" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" flashvars="title_id=index" swliveconnect="true" width="350" height="53"> </object>

Workaround: type about:config in the location bar and set dom.ipc.plugins.asyncdrawing.enabled to false.
