Title:
  Closing tab disrupts other tabs. Streaming audio.

Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: firefox

  From Ubuntu Linux 10.04 (64bit) with Firefox v3.6.8:

  I like to stream net radio in the background while I visit other
  sites.

  Randomly (about 75% of the time), if I close another tab, the tab with
  streaming radio (a Flash app) stops (page goes blank and audio stops).
  No crash message or warning of any kind. The browser does not crash,
  but I must reload the page to get my radio back.

  Even if I open an entirely new browser window, closing tabs (or the
  browser itself), still causes the tab that is actively streaming (in
  the other Firefox window) to crash.

  I do not know if this happens with other Flash apps as I haven't found
  anything similar to test the bug with. But it is irrelevant, since the
  activity of one tab should have no affect on any other.
