To make it work again i must lower quality of animation, zoom to an empty zone, or such to lower cpu usage. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Load a page that has an embedded flash animation that uses a lot of cpu. 2. Wait untill it loads and starts consuming cpu cycles. Actual Results: The rest of the page is not rendered, and the gui buttons and keystrokes wont work . Expected Results: Keep interactivity (buttons and keystrokes) working. I use flash plugin 6.0r79. I also tried mozilla 1.3 and firebird and had the same problem. (I downloaded binaries from debian/sid, so many debian users do have same problem). Note i also tried Mozilla 1.1 (in mandrake) didnt have the problem.
Mac OS X, 1.4, 6.0r79... this page causes a little lag in the UI but nothing to get concerned over (and non-moz browsers seem worse)... not perfect but I'd consider it a WFM
Works fine on Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031029 with Flash plugin 5.0 r51, but becomes unresponsive with Flash version 6.0 r79. I have not tested other flash versions. Test page: http://pp.siedziba.pl/tmp/mozfltest.html. There is an animation showing numbers 0 to 9, with increasing CPU usage, and a counter. Using flash 6.0 r79 on my Celeron 800 the counter suddenly stops when number 4 appears, and the whole UI becomes unresponsive until the animation restarts. Using flash 5.0 r51 the counter counts as usual, only the animation slows down a bit.
Using Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6b) Gecko/20031110 MultiZilla/1.5.0.4g and Shockwave Flash 6.0 r79 Mozilla becomes totally unresponsive on entering a web site that uses flash. I have to kill the mozilla process from a command line to get out of mozilla. Happens at this site www.mannatech.com
This appears to be fixed in Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6b) Gecko/20031208 MultiZilla/1.6.0.0a
I spoke too soon. This is not fixed. It is intermittant. Sometimes the flash presentation works; sometimes it doesn't; sometimes only part of it runs.
I think this may be a timing or processor issue. I have two systems with virtually identical OS and software loads. One is an 800 MHz PIII; the other is a 1.7 GHz P4. Flash seems to load and play on the PIII-800 but plays only part of the Flash presentation and locks up on the 1.7 GHz P4.
Still problem Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6b) Gecko/20031212 MultiZilla/1.6.0.0c nightly.

This bug occurred again today on ZDNet News with this flash animation: http://m3.doubleclick.net/581472/hpBuilding2_728x90_18fps.swf?clickTag=http%3A//ad.doubleclick.net/click%253Bh%3Dv2%7C30f3%7C3%7C0%7C%252a%7Cg%253B7847842%253B0-0%253B0%253B9038447%253B3454-728%7C90%253B5019837%7C5037733%7C1%253B%253B%253fhttp%3A//www.hp.com/products1/promos/adapt/us/index.html It seems worse than the url in this bug because the cpu usage starts low but increments slowly until it reaches 92%. My system config is: WinXP SP1 w/ all patches Mozilla 1.7b build #2004031616 1.7 GHz P4 M, 512 MB RAM
Updating flash plugin to 7.0 r25 solved this problem for me.
