Version: unspecified → 3.6 Branch
What version of flash do you have?
I was using the latest version of Flash available for Windows 2000, which I believe was 10.1 at the time.
Severity: critical → minor
Is this still happening with the latest graphics drivers, firefox 3.6.11 in a fresh profile and the latest flash? 10.1r85
I don't know. I submitted this months ago. I have since upgraded to XP and deleted the Win2k partition. If anyone has a win2k box, I suspect this is reproducible since I had read of others having the same problem.
Ok well if anyone still sees this please reopen.

I've reproduced this, it seems to not have anything to do with Flash or Firefox.

Installing the unofficial SP5.1 (found on MajorGeeks) fixes this bug, so it only happens when your Windows 2000 install isn't fully up-to-date.
