I downloaded the latest Firefox 3.5.6 yesterday, but no rollovers in Flash are working. I've checked many sites and they are doing the same. I am on a Mac G5, PowerPC.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Firefox on a mac
2. go to http://www.blu72.com/ for example
3. None of the weblinks 'animate' when rolled over as they should. See in Safari to check.
Actual Results:  
Rollovers in Flash didn't work.

Expected Results:  
Buttons should have animated once the mouse is over them.

The sites worked fine yesterday before I upgraded to 3.5.6, they still work fine on Safari and Opera. One other thing to note, Firefox is now slower than my version of Safari, so with this new issue, I'm going to have to start using Safar for Flash content.

[timeless]

so, i have Firefox 3.5.6 on my intel macbook pro w/ Shockwave Flash 10.0 r45 2, and the rollovers on http://www.blu72.com/ seem to work the same in Camino (nightly), Firefox 3.5.6, and Safari 4.

It's possible this is a PPC thing (I'll check my g5 if you confirm this problem still exists), it's possible the problem was w/ something the site did.

It's possible this is Firefox's fault.

I'm just moving this bug out of Firefox:General, not assigning blame.

resolving worksforme because it does on my intel mac. If it still doesn't work for you, *please* reopen and indicate the version of flash player you're using: http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ and the version of firefox you're using (3.5.6 is out of date, as I just discovered when I opened mine...).
