From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.0rc3) Gecko/20020523 BuildID: 2002052306 I just downloaded and installed the Flash plugin for netscape. It correctly discovered Mozilla as my browser and seemed to install correctly. Then it closed all my windows (I assumed it was restarting mozilla, but the mozilla splash window did not appear) and opened up several windows pointing to the "about Flash" page at macromedia. There was supposed to be some flash on that page, but it was not working. Also, whenever I tried to go to a different url, eg. my.yahoo.com, the mozilla browser said down in the status bar, something like "attempting to resolve host: my.yahoo.com", but never retrieved the page. Also at that point I noticed that my cpu was maxed out by mozilla (looking in Task Manager). Using ie, I verified that the page was available. I was about to attempt to uninstall the plugin, so I killed all the mozilla windows. At that point I noticed that mozilla was still taking 100% of my cpu even though I had shut down all the windows. Then I remembered that I had enabled the Quick Launch thing. So I killed that and then restarted mozilla, and everything works fine. No 100% cpu usage, navigation works fine, and the flash plugin works fine. In conclusion, I suspect that mozilla needed to be restarted for the plugin to be loaded correctly, and the flash plugin installer attempted to restart it, but failed because of Quick Launch. Reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: 1.Enable Quick Launch for a mozilla installation that has not had the flash plugin installed 2.install flash Actual Results: 1. browser dislplays the "about Flash" page from macromedia 2. Where flash is embedded in that page, browser displays the "you need to download plugin" message and icon 3. browser cannot navigate to any other page 4. mozilla uses 100% of cpu Expected Results: Flash media embedded in a page should have shown correctly. I should have been able to navigate to other pages. Mozilla should not have used 100% of my cpu
