When opening the page http://www.alveran.org/?pageID=10&navBereich=Neuigkeiten,
the page loads and reloads immediately after the content is displayed. This is
different from Mozilla 1.7, the page looked okay there.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Flash-Plugin. I downloaded version 1.6 from the Macromedia page
(http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer/)
2. Open the page

Actual Results:  
Page flickers

Expected Results:  
Shouldn't flicker

Looks like being a dupe of Bug 243730 page and flash plugin stops loading

I've cut the &PHPSESSID=2d...cut.....c0&PHPSESSID=2d1..cut..c0 attached to some
filenames.
frameset cols="210,100%", how should this work logically? 
wouldn´t be cols="210,*" the thing to do?

One of the files loads a flash menu, if I loads this directly, it shows.

Aaron, did you just compare the summaries, or the websites loading?
This website here is continously reloading, the one from bug 209531 doesn´t show
much flicker, and I confirmed that bug in bug 209531 comment 1, so I must have
seen it then. I saw a lot of flicker in the URL of your comment bug 209531
comment 2.

I see a lot of similarities to bug 243730 and some differences, but no
similarities to bug 209531, tested today in comparison.

seen with extension LiveHTTPHeaders:

there is a command not to cache, a expiry date far in the past, a cookie, and a
fast timeout. Next file to load:

if you replace 'PHPSESSID=2b127dda00ec4419a0f2e90566c4cadf' with 'cookie' to
make it more visible, and you get in shortform:
GET /file.htm?cookie&cookie HTTP/1.1

Is it normal to append the same cookie twice as parameter?

Is it normal not to call website.com or website.com/index.html or
website.com/index.html?cookie but to call http://website.com/?someparameter?

Adding keywords qawanted, helpwanted, as I don´t know how to fix this bug, or if
component plugins is correct.

german comment translated by me, (sort of), maybe this file is responsible for
the constant reload?

Can attach log of LiveHTTPheaders, if wanted. 

LiveHTTPHeader of loading this file: 
have a look at the timeout, 2 seconds?, and the expiry date, 1981?

Tried Flash 1.7, but doesn't worj there, too.



I think the website has changed. At least, I don't see any flash.
See: http://www.alveran.org/index.php?pageID=99
"29.05.2004 Relaunch von Alveran.org im neuen Design, Wegfall von Flash-Elementen"
Flags: blocking1.8a2? → blocking1.8a2-
Yes, the site changed. I contacted the author and asked if he could restore the
old site and send us a copy, but he told me that was impossible.
There is significant flickering on http://www.tvnz.co.nz. All columns to the
right of the left-most column flicker to the left of pages containing flash in
those columns.
Well, the website has changed, no way to get it back. I'm marking it WORKSFORME.
Note, this would probably have been fixed by the fix for bug 238493.
