Interesting, how was that fixed? I'm running 32-bit Firefox for compatibility with 32-bit flash. I understand there were workarounds but not a real solution. I should check up on Gnash again, I tried it years ago when it still had awful clipping problems...
But that's kind of my point, I can use a 32-bit firefox. An end-user might have issues but developers should have what they need to find the libraries to make it work.
