208279 - browser hangs on this page, seems to be related to the dynamic pictures near the bottom

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core Graveyard :: Plug-ins, defect)

Description

[Chris Curvey]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030507
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030507

Pointing at http://www.samsungusa.com/ , the page begins loading and the
pictures show up but as soon as you mouse-over one of the pictures of the
products, the browser hangs.  The only way to recover is to kill the browser
process and re-start.  (Possibly useless info:  I checked this out in NS 7.02
and it works OK there.)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.point to www.samsungusa.com
2.mouse-over one of the pictures
3.

Actual Results:  
browser hangs (will not respond to mouse clicks, when windows over the browser
are closed the browser window does not repaint)

Expected Results:  
looks like it should have shown the "swf" file, whatever that is...oh!  it's flash.

looks like the flash player that I have installed is 6.0r79.  This is the same
flash player that I have installed for NS 7.02 (see "Possibly Useless
Information" above).  Wondering if this is related to 166256.  If so, pardon the
duplicate bug

I didn't think that the latest flash versions were affected by dsp problems, but
FWIW I start mozilla with "artsdsp mozilla"
