531450 - Loading this Flash based site seems to throw you into an endless loop or kicks you back out depending on how you try to log into the site. (That's with the latest version of Flash player, version 10, installed).

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Core :: General, defect)

Description

[Jamie Horner]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X 10.4; en; rv:1.9.0.16pre) Gecko/2009112200 Camino/2.1a1pre (like Firefox/3.0.16pre)

When I try to access the site on either Camino or Firefox, I go into an endless loop that repeats the first thing I see when I enter. I get about 5 seconds to try to click something before the loop starts again.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Go to www.farmville.com
2.Log in.

-> Core for triage, given that it happens in firefox as well.

I have this problem using an iMac running Mac OSX 10.6.4 and the latest Flash version. I cannot play FarmVille on http://www.farmville.com because I cannot connect to Facebook from this website in the Camino browser. 

As soon as you go to this site, the status bar shows a constant loop between Waiting and Reading. It doesn't matter if I click in the Play Now! box to Connect with Facebook, or try to Login to Facebook at the top of the page, the loop doesn't stop and you go nowhere.

I have been using firefox for years even in the new build Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.0; rv:2.0b6) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0


it is not fixed, I have to use some other browser when ever I have to play flash games.
The loading of the game takes too long..

Please fix this 
this is a very serious issue

We're in the process of removing support for plugins (bug 1677160), so I think this bug is irrelevant now.
