User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9b1) Gecko/2007110904 Firefox/3.0b1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9b1) Gecko/2007110904 Firefox/3.0b1

I am using Flash Player plugin version 9.
Whenever I right-click on a flash movie within firefox, the flash context menu appears, then the browser and Flash Player 'freeze' until I dismiss the context menu.  Sometimes the Flash will continue to advance the timeline while 'frozen', other times it will pause while 'frozen'.
After I dismiss the context menu, the browser becomes responsive, and flash content plays fine.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to a website with flash content
2. Right click on a flash movie

Actual Results:  
Flash movie stops redrawing, sometimes completely pauses.
Browser stops responding to mouseover events and appears frozen.

Expected Results:  
Flash should continues to play, browser should continues to respond to mouseover events and show other signs of being alive.
