User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007 Firebird/0.7 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007 Firebird/0.7 The whole site is in flash. If you hoover above one of the four icons some text should appear above and change when you go above another icon. With mozillafirebird 0.61 everything works fine in the 0.7 build, it does not work, flash is dead slow. The problem occurs only with the gtk2/xft build. It has been reported in the mozillazine forum; I'm unable to put in the link since it is down for now. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.goto www.rencontres-audiovisuelles.org (or any flash site) 2. hoover above the four icons Actual Results: nothing you need to double click the icon for the window to open Expected Results: some text should appear above the icons a simple click opens the new window
does it happen in an 0.6.1 gtk2+xft build? (are there any?) also, what about a mozilla gtk2+xft package? is that slow as well?

0.6.1 gtk2+xft builds work, I'm using one since 0.7 does not. A weird thing is that under redhat 9.0 the problem is not there; since redhat uses a modified version of gnome2.2, the problem might be with the prefs system of the original gnome 2.2/2.4 or with the mandrake distro. this problem was discussed here http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=28282 I'll try a gtk2/xft build of mozilla 1.5 and report here.
http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=28282 .61 with GTK2+XFS worked well with flash, but .6 did not. now .7(release) and the older RC3 with gtk2+xfs is really bad with flash. www.hsv.com.au <-- flash loads but is extremely slow www.virginblue.com.au <-- airline site, half the map doesn't even open just a blank square the above sites worked perfectly in .61 I'm on Mandrake 9.1, Gnome is NOT installed but its libraries are. I'm using KDE3.1, 2.66ghz P4, 1024MB RAM, 128MB geforce 4 video card. The system is more than capable of displaying flash. .7 without XFS displays flash fine but the fonts are bad...
219625 is a dupe? Very annoying bug :/
Status: UNCONFIRMED → NEW
Ever confirmed: true
I got a workaround.. it's weird Instead of installing the flash plugin in the firebird plugin directory, install it in mozilla (1.4 for me) and create a plugins symlink, linking to the mozilla plugin directory And flash works just fine!! MozillaFirebird]$ ln -s /usr/lib/mozilla-1.4/plugins/ plugins plugins]$ pwd /usr/lib/mozilla-1.4/plugins plugins]$ l flashplayer.xpt@ libflashplayer.so@ libnullplugin.so* raclass.zip rpnp.so*
After another round of testing I noticed that /usr/lib/mozilla-1.4/plugins/libflashplayer.so was not the same I had under my MozillaFirebird plugin. I copied the file under MozillaFirebird/plugins and it now works So I guess the problem is actually not with MozillaFirebird but with the version of flash; the Shockwave Flash 6.0 r79 is okay. maybe those gcc2/gcc3 issues with the old plugin version. Anyway bug 219625 deals with the same thing so I guess this one should be considered a dupe. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 219625 ***
