While I was attempting to confirm bug 252752, I discovered that Flash 7 is
needed for some flash content to work properly.

morphing this to be specific to 10.3.x (Panther), specifically the latest as of
this writing (10.3.4).

I did a clean install of Panther, then pulled all of the software updates to get
to 10.3.4. after installing a firefox build, I checked out about:plugins.

a.  File name: Default Plugin.plugin
    Netscape Navigator Default Plug-in

b.  File name: Java Applet.plugin (located in /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/Java
Applet.plugin)
    Java 1.3.1 Plug-in

c.  File name: Java Applet Plugin Enabler (located in /Library/Internet
Plug-Ins/Java Applet Plugin Enabler)
    Java 1.3.1 Plug-in (CFM)

d.  QuickTime Plug-in 6.4 (located in /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/QuickTime
Applet.plugin)
    File name: QuickTime Plugin.plugin

e.  File name: NP-PPC-Dir-Shockwave (located in /Library/Internet
Plug-Ins/NP-PPC-Dir-Shockwave)
    Macromedia Shockwave for Director Netscape plug-in, version 8.5.1

f.  File name: Shockwave Flash NP-PPC (located in /Library/Internet
Plug-Ins/Shockwave Flash NP-PPC)
    Shockwave Flash 7.0 r14

I couldn't find the location of (a), unless that's part of the Firefox
application package contents. here are additional files located in
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ which could be related here:

  flashplayer.xpt
  JavaPluginCocoa.bundle
  nsIQTScriptablePlugin.xpt
