Details

When using the old Mog Flash player (the one that pops up in a separate window, vs. the new one that people default to), if the Mog player window is open and the browser is restarted it beachballs on session-restore. After re-opening several times, so that FF then prompted me to restore them rather than auto-restore, restoring the session there worked fine. This issue only occurs during the auto-restore on launch. It happened on both FF 13 and FF 14, I didn't have FF 12 installed to test on at the time. To reproduce, have a Mog account, ensure its the old player (new users frequently get the new player by default, the old one can be used by submitting a support request ticket on mog.com asking for the old player). Have its window open when quitting FF, on restart with session restore and some tabs open, FF will beachball.
This sounds like a problem with the Flash player plugin, which wouldn't fit in this Bugzilla component. Core:Plugins, maybe? However, this is also unlikely to get much traction given that this is an old version of the player that you need to explicitly ask for. Maybe it's bad performance is the reason it was discontinued...
