User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC; en-US; rv:1.1) Gecko/20020826

When visiting sites that contain Flash content, approximately once in every two
or three times that i start-up Mozilla, i get the broken plug-in icon (i have
the latest Flash player 6.0.r47). 
Quitting Mozilla and re-opening it occassionally fixes the problem, but mostly
the app will stubbornly refuse to accept that i've already  installed the plug-in.
The Flash plug-in is located in the  Plug-ins folder, inside the Mozilla
application folder.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. The problem is random - there is no consistent  pattern.
2.
3.




Themes used were Classic and Pinball.

[e-mail], does it work if you install the Flash plug-in in the System/Internet 
Plug-Ins folder instead? Also, can you provide an example URL that causes this problem?

that sounds more like poorly referenced pages, or network timing issues, or
something amiss with a DHTML page. Can you provide at least one URL where this
occurs

Mozilla no longer supports Classic. If you can reproduce under Mach-O, please
reopen.
