Description Brad House 2005-11-30 09:44:36 UTC
Navigating to about:plugins shows :

    File name: libflashplayer.so
    Shockwave Flash 7.0 r61

MIME Type 	Description 	Suffixes 	Enabled
application/x-shockwave-flash 	Shockwave Flash 	swf 	Yes
application/futuresplash 	FutureSplash Player 	spl 	Yes

So it loads the flash player, but accessing any site that has
flash just leaves a blank space where flash content should be
(such as www.macromedia.com) ...
Previously worked on Firefox 1.0.7, tried reinstalling netscape-flash,
did nothing to resolve the situation.

So far I've tested on 2 computers, x86 which I compiled firefox, and
on amd64 where it's using firefox-bin (running as 32bit) ...
Both exhibit identical behavior.

Recommend masking firefox-1.5 if an upstream issue, most likely other
plugins will experience similar failings.
