(External Software Affecting Firefox Graveyard :: Flash (Adobe), defect)

Description

[Eduard Grebe]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; en-US; rv:2.0b1) Gecko/20100630 Firefox/4.0b1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; en-US; rv:2.0b1) Gecko/20100630 Firefox/4.0b1

The OOPP implementation on OSX (which results in a separate process for the Flash container with its own dock icon) also results in standard Apple crash reports being launched when the plugin crashes. I attach two such reports, in the event that it is helpful.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1.load buggy flash content
2.let flash crash
3.
Actual Results:  
Apple crash report pops up

Expected Results:  
Firefox crash reporter or the option within the tab where plugin crashed to report the crash to Mozilla

I'm closing a lot of bugs which are filed as Adobe Flash bugs which are either irrelevant, not actionable, or not serious enough to track in the Mozilla bug tracker. For the most part, Flash bugs should be filed in Adobe bugbase, and we'll only track a few highly-critical issues in the Mozilla tracker.

Version and milestone values are being reset to defaults as part of product refactoring.
