[Bug 237795] [NEW] plugin not properly unloaded

[MennoT]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

This problem occurs with embedded video. Example: http://renske-harp.com/gallery.html (Balulalow, This Little Babe, Interlude links).
When the plugin is playing a video and playing is not stopped by the player itself, next time the plugin is started, it doesn't start clean. The sound of the previously played video is played, but the gui of mplayer-plugin is not shown.
This behaviour has been observed in Firefox-3/Ubuntu Linux as well as in Firefox 2/Windows.
When the video plays to the end or is stopped through the plugin controls, there is no problem.

(Unfortunately, mplayer/Ubuntu has a problem with the mentioned video
clips, connected with time-line issues, causing the videos not to play
to the end most of the time; with Quicktime/Windows, this is not the
case, but there is still a problem when the video is not played to the
end or stopped via Quicktime.)

This problem does not occur in IE6/Windows or Opera/Windows.
