539763 - Outdated version of Flip4Mac plugin causes remnant across all tabs

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Toolkit :: Blocklist Policy Requests, defect)

Description

[Tracy Walker [:tracy]]

Reprodcuible on: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; en-US; rv:1.9.2) Gecko/20100105 Firefox/3.6

Not able to repro with Shiretoko nigtly on 10.6 nor at all on Win XP.  Maybe it's a Flip4Mac WMV plug-in regression?

STR:
0) have a few tabs open
1) Load the test URL - https://litmus.mozilla.org/testcase_files/firefox/6347/ 
2) Allow the brief clip to play
3) switch tabs

tested results:
a black box remnant of the clip window is in every tab

expected results:
no black box

note: closing the tab with the test page or navigating away from test gets rid of the black box on all tabs.

Tracy: Please include the version of Flip for mac you were using when you tested this so we can crosscheck. Thanks.

Wow, that's a bad regression. Anyone knows other pages with wmv content? I wonder if those instances turn black too. We would need a regression range here. I will have a check now.

Tracy, can you run a test with the latest version Marcia pointed out?

Comment 9

[Tracy Walker [:tracy]]

Yes, OK, upgrading to Flip4Mac WMV Plugin Version: 2.3.1.2  made this go away.  

So, questions:

1) should plugin detection be alerting users of the outdated plugin here?
2) should this be in release notes?

Chris, does it qualify that version of the plug-in to get blocklisted?

Comment 11

[chris hofmann]

yeah, soft blocking would make sense.

Closing old blocklist bugs. Please reopen if the problem still exists.
