Is this a recent regression? Is this reproducible on Firefox 14? Is this only the Samsung Galaxy R?

Comment 2

[Andreea Pod]

Yes, this is only on Galaxy R. Flash was enabled for Tegra devices starting with Firefox 15 beta 5 and it is reproducible since then.

Flash is going away (bug 1381916), so there's no point in pursuing this further.
