The duplicate bug seems to have better steps to reproduce.

I'm retitling the bug to remove " ads" since it's just related to flash (I assume).

The Flash plugin on the top of www.buffalo.edu is working in Camino 0.7.  This
might be somewhat related to Bug 189029 which involves Real Player plugin
controllers showing up in the wrong place.

This has been a serious bug for the last several months on the MachO build of
Mozilla.  It seems to have been fixed in Camino.  I'm adding Mike Pinkerton who
may know how to incorporate the Camino fix into Mozilla.

I keep trying, and I'm not able to reproduce this. Please give exact steps to
repro, including noting your flash version, and the Mozilla build ID.

I have this problem in any MachO build whether it be 1.3, pre 1.3.1, 1.4 alpha,
and the most recent nightlies.  I am running Mac OS 10.2.5 and i am using
Shockwave Flash 6.0 r79 as my plugin.  If I uninstall Flash, some of the Flash
content is displayed with Quicktime, and it still shows up wrong.

I just was tinkering around with Quicktime and therin was the problem. 
Quicktime by default is set to display Flash content.  I tried turning off this
option, and sure enough Flash plugins are showing up correctly now.  I guess
Camino bypasses Quicktime for Flash, but Mozilla doesn't.  Perhaps you could
verify this and if this is true add the workaround to the release notes until
its fixed.

I set QT to display Flash, removed the Flash plugin, and still didn't see any
problems.

It now is broken again, and adjusting QT does nothing now.  Javascript is not
the problem either.

[Greg K.]

Dup of/related to bug 189029?

Comment 12

[kguru]

I upgraded Quicktime to 6.2 and the problem seems to have gone away again.  Bug
189029 is still happening with Real player content.  It might be a good idea to
wait and see if other people still have this problem with Quicktime 6.2.

[Olivier Cahagne]

anyone still seeing this with QT 6.3 and Flash 7 beta ?

Quicktime 6.4 may have some issues, I can't confirm yet, but I think we should
wait until Panther comes out and see if this issue is resolved or not with
Quicktime 6.4.

WFM Mozilla 1.7rc2, QuickTime 6.5.1, Flash 7.0 r19, OSX.4.4.

Flash gets flash content now in Mozilla without involving QuickTime.  The
QuickTime plug-in isn't registered to handle flash content; I haven't changed
anything from the default settings.

I haven't tested disabling the Flash plug-in and forcing QuickTime to handle the
content.

WFM Mozilla 1.7rc2 (haven't seen this issue in since 2003).  Apparently it was a
Quicktime issue.

Marking RESOLVED INVALID since, in the end, this was a problem with QuickTime.
