User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9b1) Gecko/2007110904 Firefox/3.0b1

I am using Flash Player plugin version 9.
Whenever I right-click on a flash movie within firefox, the flash context menu appears, then the browser and Flash Player 'freeze' until I dismiss the context menu.  Sometimes the Flash will continue to advance the timeline while 'frozen', other times it will pause while 'frozen'.
After I dismiss the context menu, the browser becomes responsive, and flash content plays fine.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to a website with flash content
2. Right click on a flash movie

Actual Results:  
Flash movie stops redrawing, sometimes completely pauses.
Browser stops responding to mouseover events and appears frozen.

Expected Results:  
Flash should continues to play, browser should continues to respond to mouseover events and show other signs of being alive.
This seems to be fixed with the patch for bug 389931.
