If you visit www.playatmcd.com under Firefox/Linux, nearly all of the site is
obscured by a large, grey box preventing interaction with the flash animation.
I've also seen the same problem occur on www.t8er.com. 

Reproducible: Always

1. Visit a specific site utilizing flash. (www.playatmcd.com)
2. Attempt usage of the site.

Actual Results:  
The box obscuring the flash animation prevented interaction. 

Expected Results:  
Not render the box?

Christopher, did you test a recent build? Why did you file this as NEW in
Firefox General?

1.0.7 is the latest release. Since 1.5 is being tested, it's not terribly easy
to find a nightly build from the 1.0.x tree - if they even exist anymore. Not
everyone is going to immediately move to 1.5 when it is released due to the
necessity of so many extensions needing a rewrite, so it'd be nice to see this
fixed in 1.0.x.

If you can point me to a nightly build from 1.0.x, I'd be happy to test the
problem under that.

I imagine that this has pretty much no chance of getting fixed in the 1.0.x
branch since it is not a security/dataloss problem and very few people seem to
have the same problem, unless this is a dupe of a bug I have not found yet.

You put WFM, but you're using Windows. This bug is filed for Linux.

Additionally, it seems to be reproducable for everyone using 1.0.x under Linux,
so to say that "very few people seem to have the same problem" is grossly
inaccurate.
