macromedia or firefox bug ?

[anyweb]

while checking out ATI's website for linux driver downloads, I came across this strange issue,

 

i cannot see the menu system properly because the macromedia animation is forcing itself ontop of every other menu

 

look at the screenshot to see what I'm talking about,

 

firefox is as shipped with fcr6 (1.5.0.7) and macromedia 7 installed via a normal 'plugins are required, please install - then next next next in firefox..

 

as you can see this problem makes the website in question unusable,

 

so whats wrong here, firefox, macromedia or ati's website or fedora core release 6 ?

 

cheers

i've experienced that before w/ firefox in windows, that was about a year ago though. Also with Firefox in FC5 back around... June I'd say.

And I had some flash attack my Epiphany browser the other day, I submitted a bug report because the option to do so came up; I got an email back saying the stacktrace pointed to a macromedia/flash issue not a browser one in that instance.

So it's a little blurry to me where the problem is exactly, but if i had to pick i'd say flash. My epiphany browser uses flash7, my firefox uses 9. I use Epiphany sometimes when my firefox freaks out or crashes on some pages.

Work fine. Is there an upgrade to firefox2 available for fc6?

There is no fix for this. It is a bug in gecko, is that it does not

allow "windowless" plugins on X. And so with flash and other plugins you

will see z-order issues. Until gecko implements windowless plugins, this

is a side effect.
