Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 244987

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[JongAm Park]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8a) Gecko/20040507 Firefox/0.8.0+
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8a) Gecko/20040507 Firefox/0.8.0+

Web pages with flash animation stops responding and when you click the flash
animation animates frame-by-frame. In other words, if you click once, a frame
of the animatio, so to speak, is processed, and you click again, next frame is
processed, etc.

Reproducible: Sometimes
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open any web pages with flash animation
2. Check if your Mozilla/Firefox browser stops responding
3. Click your mouse button and check if the flash animation animates as I described.

Actual Results:  
Unresponsive web browser
animate-only-when-you-click flash animation

Expected Results:  
No "unresponsive" web browser
Normal Flash animation

You need to be more precise.
Can you give any URL to try ?
Is it a Macintosh only bug ?

Do you think it is related to a specific flash file?
i don't think so. Because there is no unique things with each flash files.
Well... if you want to check, please try www.joins.com, www.stoo.co.kr, www.chosun.co.kr, etc.
Korean newspaper web pages use flash ads heavily.
However it doesn't occur every time you visit the sites.

Maybe it is not Macintosh-only bug. I've noticed it on my windows machine.
However I didn't check it with the latest version on windows.

Hope it could be helpful to solve the problem.

Yes. It seems to me that it is related to this bug.
I didn't check if the flash animation runs while the mouse button is kept pressed.

I think it would be safe that this bug is duplication of the bug, 244987 .
