How reproducible:
Always

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.
