           Summary: Flash opens in new window with xulrunner 1.9
           Product: swfdec
           Version: 0.6.6
          Platform: x86-64 (AMD64)
        OS/Version: Linux (All)
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: plugin
        AssignedTo: swfdec at lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: dang at gentoo.org
         QAContact: swfdec at lists.freedesktop.org


Starting with xulrunner 1.9, some flash opens in a new window.  An example is
http://www.gamefly.com/member/ (or almost any other gamefly page).  Killing the
window with the window manager quickly causes a crash in the browser.  I've
verified this in epiphany (2.22.x and 2.23.5) and in firefox 3.0.1.  This did
not happen with xulrunner 1.8.

This has been reported as launchpad
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox-3.0/+bug/250769

Since this is new behavior in xulrunner 1.9, it seems likely to be a xulrunner
bug rather than a swfdec bug, but it also seems likely that swfdec will respond
better and faster than xulrunner (and it may be a deliberate API change).

I've also seen this with 0.7.2, so it's not a 0.6.6 issue, even tho that's what
gentoo ships.
