Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4

Before I just updated to Firebox Build 1.0.4 I was using 1.0.3 and Flash sites
worked fine.

Now that I just updated, I go back to a site and whenever I click the mouse it
doesn't work.  This could be a huge issue problem.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to www.akochanowski.net
2. Click on the "about" link
3. Now try to click on any other link and it no longer works.

The site continues to work in Internet Explorer 6.0.29 and Firefox 1.0.3

Actual Results:  
Links inside Flash Components no longer work

Expected Results:  
Have the links continue to work like in Firefox 1.0.3 and IE 6.0.29

Navigating around http://www.macromedia.com/ and http://www.flashloaded.com/ and
http://www.brainykidsmusic.com/akp/ works fine for me with the following builds:
- Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050509
Firefox/1.0.4
- Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050512
Firefox/1.0+ ID:2005051215

All I can suggest is type about:plugins in the URL bar and note what version of
flash you are using. The latest is Shockwave Flash 7.0 r19. If you are not using
this, then go to c:\program files\mozilla firefox\plugins and delete the file
NPSWF32.dll then reinstall flash.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that

highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
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
