Firefox 2.0 PC and Transparent Flash Bugs

Hopefully there is someone out there that has an "in" with the Firefox team.

There is a pretty nasty bug with Firefox 2.0 and Flash on the Windows platform. They’ve broken wmode (opaque/transparent) yet again. This time with no workaround.

If you create an editable textfield and run under FF2/Windows with wmode=opaque, there is no caret in the input field. Pretty bad accessibility bug for sure. When Firefox 1.0.x had this problem (pre-1.5), you could simply wrap with a DIV and provide a z-index. Unfortunately this workaround no longer "works around".

I also confirmed with MineField (FF3.0). Bad news.
