Problem occurs running Mozilla 1.6 or 1.7.  Flash 7 and Shockwave 10 are
installed and are the current versions.  This does not occur in IE. Under Help,
Plug-In's it lists these as being installed.  What's the fix?  I don't want to
use IE anymore. Thanx,   [e-mail]   LIBRETTO MASTER

Nothing to do with Bugzilla...

Looked at the javascript on the site...

If you have IE 4 or newer, it assumes you have Flash.
If you have Netscape or anything that claims to be compatible with Netscape
(i.e. Mozilla), it walks the plugin list specifically looking for "Flash 4".  If
you have a version of Flash newer than 4 it complains.

So basically, the website is broken.  Complaint to the webmaster would be in order.
