How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Browse to a web page with flash transparency, such as http://quietmind.biofeedback.net/test/so.html
2. Try to mouse over the transparent elements
  
Actual results:

Comment 1 Matthew Mosesohn 2011-08-02 18:44:50 UTC

dditional this is a regression from firefox 3.6.x with the same flash-plugin

Comment 3 Martin Stransky 2011-08-15 14:48:19 UTC

Please try i686 version w/o nspluginwrapper on rhel6.

Comment 4 Matthew Mosesohn 2011-08-15 19:43:13 UTC

Martin,

i686 with nspluginwrapper disabled works with Flash transparency

Closed as we are releasing Firefox 10 ESR for RHEL 6.
