System Testing Trying to play a Flash Video within Firefox causes all applications to stay open

[Darren Weslow]

Binary package hint: firefox

Version of Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat 64bit Looking Good Edition. :)

Applications Used, System Testing, Firefox and application installer ffmpeg Codec install.

I expected Firefox to open and just play the Flash Video File. Then being able to close Firefox and carry on with the system test sequence.

On clicking the test button within the system test application, Firefox did open but the application installer then popped up asking to install the ffmpeg codec, after clicking on install all of the applications for mentioned stayed open not letting you close them. This then caused the system testing window to stay open in test mode. You have to log out and in again for the applications to close.
