863771 - Slideshow no longer works, music not playing

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

[Robert Prins]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:20.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/20.0
Build ID: 20130409194949

Steps to reproduce:

Trying to open

http://www.elenafoto.lt/slideshows/irtv_seimyna/



Actual results:

Animation starts, but does not continue - initial photo of four sticks just disappears. Making the controls visible and clicking further on the stream will make the sound audible for a fraction of a second, with a picture either disappearing into a point again, or blowing up until infinity.

The problem also happens in Safe Mode. Opening the website in IE (10.0.9200.16540) will produce the expected slide-show.


Expected results:

It should show a slide-show of our children and grandchildren, with photos and background music

The slideshow is made with flash and this is probably a flash player bug. IE doesn't use the same Flash plugin (activeX).
This also fails in Firefox10ESR and is therefore no recent regression in Firefox.

Stop using Flash to display this kind of slideshow, it's useless and not very user-friendly. HTML and CSS do the same job for all the platforms.

Works for me using Firefox 34 nightly and Flash Player 15. I assume that the website fixed their Flash embedded slideshow.
