Firefox 17 beta 5 (20121106195758) Flash 11.2, 11.5
STR:
1. Activate click to play and restart Firefox.
2. Load http://www.sohu.com/ in the browser (also reproducible on qq.com and sina.com.cn).
3. Click on all the gray areas with "Click here to activate the Adobe Flash plugin" on them.
Actual Results:
The plugin content gets loaded on the first few containers at the beginning of the page. When clicking on those from the bottom of the page, a link is opened in a new tab.

Issue also reproducible on the 11/7 Nightly, and on Firefox 14 - where CTP landed.

A similar issue is reproducible on the AVG site:
1. Enable CTP in your browser.
2. Go to http://www.avg.com/eu-en/tutorials.pnuid-1314787329808693a388fe8b6467daa1dadd9946b672a.
3. Click on one of the "How to" links. Click on the "Play video tutorial" link.
4. Activate the plugin content.
Actual Results:
Sometimes the user can activate the plugin content when performing these steps for the first time on a profile (didn't work on all new profiles). Most of the times, the plugin content is not activated.

This is not one bug. The sohu.com bug is an "issue" where the sohu.com website has Flash advertisements "covered" by an absolutely-positioned link element so that the click loads the ad instead of launching Flash. I do think we should fix this case (probably by disabling the CTP UI for that element and using out-of-page UI), but it's not urgent.
The issue in comment 2 is entirely separate, deserves another bug, and I cannot reproduce it.

I logged bug 809860 for comment 2 since I can reproduce it on all platforms, on Firefox 14.0.1, 17b5, and 11/07 Nightly.
I will try to make a video of the issue reproducing (where it is obvious I am making the click that should activate the plugin) and upload it on the new report.

Given that I assume we should not track for Firefox 17 but possibly track for Firefox 18, 19, or later?

No, I don't think tracking flags are worthwhile for this bug.

Let's consolidate those overlay issues (see bug 752516 comment 3 and 4).

Not sure why we're reopening. The infobar appears, and as far as I can tell everything is now behaving as we intend.

This is still reproducible.

Yes, and we "fixed" it by disabling the ctp UI and using the out-of-page UI...

Try with the blocked ads from the bottom of the page, not with the top ones. No infobar/pop-up appears, just a new tab opens.

What do you mean "try with"?
There are Flash plugins large enough to see on the page, so we don't show the infobar. The plugins covered by a link don't show the "Click to activate" text, and follow the link. This is all as intended.

It's just a discoverability thing. To unblock those ads, you have 2 options now: from the doorhanger or by clicking on an other (not covered by links) blocked content.
