On this website, there is an iFrame that loads a flash animation from another
website to show details of a shoe. When the iFrame attempts to load, it crashes
Firefox. I have checked for updates of Firefox and was told there are none. I
have also disabled all my extensions and rebooted, and the problems still
occurs. I have tried in Internet Explorer Version
6.0.2800.1106.xpsp2.040919-1003 and the page loads fine. I have Flash 7
installed on my system.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Load page
Actual Results:  
Crash of Firefox

Expected Results:  
Loaded Flash in iFrame properly.

I do not have talkback.exe installed on my machine, not sure why.

And I even zoomed up the shoes! I have the following shockwave/flash plugins:
    File name: NPSWF32.dll
    Shockwave Flash 7.0 r19

Go to 
"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\components\talkback.exe"

Also, please try with the latest stable release, 1.0.3, report back here if it
works or not.

The webpage doesn't have the flash in the iFrame anymore, so I can't tell for
sure if the issue is resolved. I am on 1.0.4 now and I will report back here if
I can find another site that does that.

Thanks,
Jake

copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
