I can confirm this with a current SM trunk and Flash9.0 R124 and this is already confirmed by the dupe

This bug does the same if you use tabs instead of windows. I first noticed it on YouTube some time ago and it did it again on a different website last night.

This has happened to me many times and with the latest trunk (Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; en-US; rv:1.9.1b3pre) Gecko/20081211 Shiretoko/3.1b3pre) I can reproduce this every time:

1. Open a new tab with the following URL: http://www.techcrunch.com/2008/12/10/marissa-mayer-at-le-web-the-almost-complete-interview/
2. Play the video
3. Close tab

Actual results: audio keeps playing (Flash object doesn't unload).

During the last Support Firefox Day, the same thing happened with Mogulus (a Flash-based app to broadcast video using a webcam). In fact, after I closed the Mogulus tab, the webcam was still broadcasting on Mogulus, making this a pretty serious privacy issue as well. I thought the camera was off and it was still broadcasting!

From bug 471956: it seems to be caused by flashblock for this reporter.

I tried this 3 times in a row with Flashblock 1.5.7.1 enabled; reproduced every time.

I tried this 3 times in a row *without* Flashblock; could *never* reproduce.

I'm almost certain that the bug here, as filed, is not valid while the bugs that have been duped here that were filed with 3.1 alphas and betas are dupes of the newer bug 474022. The same goes for comment 9 and on.

Comment 15

[David Tenser [:djst]]

Sounds like this bug should be resolved. I can confirm that bug 474022 is the one I've been hit by. Without Flashblock, this doesn't happen.

Confirming disabling flashblock resolves this issue on FF 3.0.6, os/x 10.5.6.

This will be fixed in Firfox 3.0.7

[Wayne Mery (:wsmwk)]

I cannot reproduce. Does anyone see the original problems still exists?

Comment 19

[Philip Chee]

Doesn't seem to be.
