Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 421214

(Firefox :: Menus, defect)

Description

[ringer47787]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.12) Gecko/20080201 Firefox/2.0.0.12

When I right-clicked on Adobe Flash player objects to modify the settings, all too often an inappropriate context menu would be displayed in the foreground in front of the expected context menu.  I could never make this bogus context menu lose focus.  Screen and/or keyboard lock would ensue. I could no longer change the focus by clicking on other objects.  Using the <Esc> key was useless.  This was while attempting to use Firefox Version 3, beta 4. Reverted to stable Version 2 to escape the problem.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Find a web page that includes an Adobe Flash Player object.  The Flash Player version is 9,0,47,0.
2.Attempt to right click on the "control" bar at the bottom of the Flash object so as to bring up a context menu.
3.Be amazed and exasperated at unexpected context menu that you can't escape from.

Actual Results:  
See "Details" above.

Expected Results:  
Context menu for Adobe Flash Player object should be displayed as expected.

Adobe Flash Player version is 9,0,47,0.  Problem did not occur when I reverted to Firefox 2.0.0.12.
