I've never seen this; are you using the latest flash plug-in version?
Also, can you do a clean reinstallation and retest in safe-mode and with a new profile?

Yes I have the latest flash version, in fact it updated today, when I filed the bug, but the issue has occurred ever since Firefox was installed. But now that the youtube videos are not going to work for IE6, (the only other browser that can be installed in Win 2000) I decided to file this bug.

I will do a clean start tomorrow, and run in safe-mode as well although the problem occurs in every profile I used, from guest user, to administrator, and everything in between.

If the problem persist I'll do a screen video of what the problem looks like.

Reporter, are you still seeing this issue with Firefox 3.6.13 or later in safe mode or a fresh profile? If not, please close. These links can help you in your testing.

This bug has had the CLOSEME tag for several weeks and the date in the tag is
far gone. If the reporter can still see this issue, Please retest with Firefox
3.6.x or later and a new profile
(http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Managing+profiles). Then please remove the
closeme tag in the whiteboard, mark the bug against the proper version and
comment on the bug.
