I noticed this when I was listening to a song on Myspace. I minimized the browser, and the music stopped... then brought it back up and it resumed. I repeated this and it did the same thing every time. I also tested to see if the same thing happened when I switched tabs and sure enough, it did.

Not a major bug, but a lot of people do use the browser to listen to music and leave it running in the background. So far FF3 is awesome.

cheers!

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a myspace page with music (www.myspace.com/strata for example)
2. Listen to any song.
3. Switch tab or minimize window
4. Switch back to the tab or maximize window
Actual Results:  
The music stops and resumes when the tab is switched or window isn't focused.

Expected Results:  
the music to continue playing.

I can't reproduce with Shockwave Flash 9.0 r115 on Windows XP SP 2; which version of Flash are you using?
