260358 - Flash Player 7 Module Not Recognized Properly

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 256149

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Andrew K.]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913 Firefox/0.10
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913 Firefox/0.10

Macromedia Flash does not work properly in Firefox 0.10 / 1.0PR.  It worked
correctly in 0.9.3.

The FlashPlayer 7 Installer correctly recognizes Firefox 1.0PR.  Installation
occurrs without any error messages.  After installation, my broadband homepage
says "Update to Flash 6+ to use this broadband module."

When I visit Macromedia's home page, I am able to view Flash content properly
, so this is a different issue than the one reported in 187570.  Unfortunately,
since this is my personal home page (password required), and since content on
Macromedia's web site , it will be difficult to reproduce.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Go to http://dsl.sbc.yahoo.com
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
"Update to Flash 6+ to use this broadband module."

Expected Results:  
Expect to be able to view home page content.

I'm pretty sure this bug has to do with Javascript being able to find the Flash
version. Flash itself seems to work but sites that use Javascript to display a
"Download Flash" message if a version of Flash doesn't exist do not display the
Flash. I made a post on the forums about this, please
refer to http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?p=800484#800484 for further
information.

Looks like a dupe of bug 260685.
