[Bug 254117] [NEW] Ubuntu's custom Firefox covers windowless Flash context menu

[Mike Melanson]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

This problem occurs with 8.04.1 on a number of machines in our office,
both on actual hardware and virtualized VMware sessions.

* Install Firefox 3 through Ubuntu's package manager. Uninstall any officially installed Flash Player versions. Download Flash Player 10 beta 2 from: http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashplayer10/ ; install to ~/.mozilla/plugins
* Start the version of Firefox 3.0.1 provided by Ubuntu
* Select "Help -> About Mozilla Firefox" from the menu; Firefox reports "Gecko/2008072820"
* Go to: http://www.communitymx.com/content/source/E5141/wmodetrans.htm
* Right-click on the SWF

Problem: the SWF context menu appears but is covered by Firefox's
context menu.

Repeat the same process for Firefox 3.0.1 downloaded directly from
Mozilla. Firefox's context menu does not cover up Flash's context menu.

The reason I am reporting this to Ubuntu is that the problem occurs with
Ubuntu's custom version of Firefox, not with Firefox mainline.

Also, this only occurs on windowless SWFs. The URL linked above is a
simple example of a windowless SWF.
