Cannot start 2 instances of the flash player

[Patrick]

When opening a website containing a flash element in Mozilla Firefox, the flash player works very well.
When opening a second window which also contains a flash element, both flash elements stop working and the spece where the flash elements should be displayed turn white.
This happens every time.
I can reproduce the bug using the website http://www.southparkstudios.com/
Then try to open a episode of Southpark

My system:
 Intel Core2Duo E8200 @ 2.66GHz
 4GiB memory
 AMD/ATI Radeon 3600 (ati driver)

 Ubuntu 8.10

I think this may have been a problem with the website. I have just tried doing exactly what you said with Ubuntu 10.04 and I did not have any problems.

Flash Version or Firefox version may have played a role in this issue.

I don't think there is much that will happen as Ubuntu 8.10 is unsupported as of April 31st.

[Ryan (ryan484lav)]

Exactly what version of Flash and Firefox are you using? I noticed your computer specs look good and this should not be a problem. I though some where along the lines a while ago I heard about a bug with flash where this problem occurred.

I was unable to reproduce the problem with both flash player version 10.1 and 10.2 on Ubuntu 10.04 and 10.10. Since this is Ubuntu 8.10 and support will end soon, and that it seems most likely a problem with the website(s) and not flash player I am marking the bug invalid.
Thank You!
