(External Software Affecting Firefox Graveyard :: Flash (Adobe), defect, P4)

Description

[Virgil Dicu [:virgil] [QA]]

Attachment: Screenshot with the issue

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64; rv:19.0) Gecko/19.0 Firefox/19.0 build ID: 20121012030610
Adobe Flash: 11,4,402,287 

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open Firefox;
2. Open a new tab with a vimeo.com video;
3. With the video played or not, drag the vimeo tab on the desktop (a new window is opened)
4. Right click for context menu in the video player.

Expected result:
On right click, context menu should be shown near mouse pointer.

Actual result:
On right click, context menu is shown in a different place - please see the screenshot.

Note:
This is reproducible on Windows and Mac OS X 10.7 with the latest Nightly, the latest Aurora (18.0a2) and Beta (17b1), and ever since Firefox 4.0 (for this case I used Flash having the Protected mode disabled).
This is not reproducible on Ubuntu 12.04.

Reproducible also with older Adobe Flash versions, tested with: 11.2.202.235 and 11.3.300.273.

Does this happen with any other Flash video players? Can you also retest with the latest Firefox Nightly and Flash Beta?

Retested on latest Firefox Nightly with the Adobe Flash Beta 11.5 and the issue is still occurring. 

This is not happening for youtube.com or hulu.com but appears on imdb.com (bug 800940).

On Mac OS X 10.8 the issue is solved.

Since this only happens on imdb.com I assert this is a problem with their player and should be moved to Tech Evangelism or resolved INVALID. Benjamin, what do you think?

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.
