786288 - When the Babylon Toolbar is enabled - Flash content is not properly rendered

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 636952

(Firefox :: Extension Compatibility, defect)

Description

[Simona Badau, Desktop QA]

Attachment: Screenshot with the issue

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:10.0.7) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/10.0.7

YouTube videos are not properly rendered when Babylon Toolbar is enabled. Several other add-ons are installed on Firefox, but disabling Babylon Toolbar solves the problem.

Reproducible: always

Steps to reproduce:
1. Launch Firefox and install the 10 most popular add-ons from:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/extensions/?sort=users
2. Install the Yahoo Toolbar and the Yandex Toolbar from:
http://sg.toolbar.yahoo.com/
http://bar.yandex.ru/en/
3. Launch YouTube and watch a video
4. While the video is running install the Babylon Toolbar from:
http://babylon-toolbar.software.informer.com/download/
5. After Firefox is restarted go back to the video from step 3.

Expected results:
The Video renders fine.

Actual results:
The video is not properly rendered (please see the attached screenshot). If all the Babylon extensions are disabled (Babylon 1.5.0, Babylon Spelling and Proofreading 1.0.0.1, Babylon Translation Activation 1.1), the video is properly rendered.

Note:
This is not reproducible on the latest Nightly and Aurora.

What about Firefox 15? How far back does this bug go?

This is also reproducible on Firefox 4.0.1 and Firefox 15 RC.
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:2.0.1) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0.1

Can you work to find a regression range for when this was fixed in Firefox 16/17? If you can, try to find the patch which stopped this from happening. It's possible that we could uplift the patch if we did a Firefox 15.0.1. Otherwise, I'd recommend a WONTFIX and let it naturally resolve itself when we release Firefox 16.

We blocked babyfox.dll in bug 721264 for 16. Related?

The Babylon QA people are saying that this bug can be reproduced even without the Babylon toolbar installed. Can we get confirmation that the STR are minimal?

Yeah, it doesn't look like a Babylon problem.
