User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X; fr; rv:1.8.1.11) Gecko/20071127 Firefox/2.0.0.11
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X; fr; rv:1.8.1.11) Gecko/20071127 Firefox/2.0.0.11

I don't know if this bug comes from firefox itself or from the flash plugin.
On the provided URL, there are 3 flash applets (flv videos). None of them is visible except in a very specific case :
If a flash applet is not completely displayable, a little bit cut by the top of the visible frame, then it becomes visible.
The URL I provided here is not the only one that has this problem, I can provide at least one more if needed.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go on the the specified webpage
2. Scroll the page

Actual Results:  
You can see one flash applet at a time, only if it doesn't fit completely in the page because of the top border of the browser frame

Expected Results:  
All the flash applets should be visible at any moment.

I'm using firefox 2.0.0.11 on a new Intel MacBookPro SantaRosa, with OsX 10.5.1 Leopard and the native screen resolution (1440*900)
I have the AdBlockPlus extension which allows to block flash applets (a small "Block" button shows on the top of each flash applet) but I checked and these applets are not listed in my blacklist.

WFM using both Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8.1.11) Gecko/2007112718 Firefox/2.0.0.11 and the latest trunk nightly running Leopard 10.5.1. I can see all three youtube videos fine. I installed adblock plus as well and saw no issues.

This is a mass search for bugs that are in the Firefox General component, are
UNCO, and have not been changed for 800 days and have an unspecified version. 

Reporter, can you please update to Firefox 3.6.10, create a fresh profile,
http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/managing+profiles, and test again. If you
still see the bug, please update this bug. If the issue is gone, please set the
resolution to RESOLVED > WORKSFORME.

I tried again using Firefox 4.0b6 and I don't have the problem anymore.
