[Charles Lowell]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0


1) 

Description:	Ubuntu intrepid (development branch)
Release:	8.10

2) 
firefox-3.0:
  Installed: 3.0.3+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu1

3) I expected the netbeans tutorial to play:

4) instead, firefox and all tabs became unresponsive and did not repaint. After it began responding again (about 20-30 seconds) It rendered a gray square where the movie should have been.
