499078 - tearing off tab into new window breaks flash audio player

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: DOM: Navigation, defect)

If you navigate to thesixtyone.com, I believe music will start playing regardless of whether you've got an account. If you then tear that tab off into a new window, the player stops playing, and further, playing doesn't work again until you reload the window.

This almost certainly doesn't belong in Firefox: Tabbed Browser, but I don't know the right place.

So what happens here is that when we stop the plug-in the web page script gets confused... and when we restart it it doesn't get unconfused.  You can get the same behavior by doing:

  javascript:var b = document.body;b.style.display="none";b.offsetWidth;b.style.display="";void(0);

in the url bar.  Watch your JS console as you do this.

So this looks like basically bug 449734.  Marking dependent.
