The current Macromedia Flash XPCOM plugin, version 6.0.79, freeze the browser
when it is used to see embedded flash object. The browser completely frozen: it
won't even redraw, no keyboard or mouse event recognized, even will not listen
to mozilla-xremote. It still listen to signal and can be killed normally.

The plugin worked for previous version of Mozilla browser.

I use the 7.x rpm, but I already compared the files with the tar distribution:
it exactly the same.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.install the plugin
2.go to http://www.macromedia.com/

Actual Results:  
Browser frozen

Expected Results:  
Either the Flash plugin show the flash object or not, but browser should not frozen.


I compiled the browser myself in RH linux 7.3.
