The fact that a the demo doesn't work, doe not make this an ADT1.

hmm, it isn't the demo that is the problem here, it just happens that the demo
"demonstrates" the issue. The point here, is that the plug-in does not work!

OK, Fern has looked into the content.
No Viewpoint or new Mozilla plugin bugs here.
2 known issues:
1) Hidden layers - The plugin is initially created in a hidden layer.  When the 
layer is unhidden, the drawable is never created.  I hit this with Peter back 
in .0.9.4- I don't remember what the conclusion was.
2) FS Command- the cuisinart content uses MacroMedia Flash's actionscript to 
load the content into the plugin.  This feature is not currently supported in 
Mozilla-

ahhh...wonderful a analysis Ari!

1. Plugins must start out visible on Win32. However, they may be hidden
immediately after the fact. This is caused because we will only attempt to
create a view at plugin startup time and plugins need a view to paint. See bug
137231.

2. The Flash FS command problem should be fixed the Macromedia's next update to
Flash. Our QA's got a beta version they can test with.

So, if 1) will be fixed by fixing bug 137231 and 2) is not really Mozilla bug
why not to resolve this one? Please reopen if disagree.
