Did you install the Active-X plugin? Do you see a plugin for
application/x-oleobject in about:plugins? If so, add Flash to the blacklist in
the registry.

Yes, I did install the ActiveX Plugin. Did that cause the problem?
How do I add it to the registry blacklist and will other things be affected?
Thanks in advance :)

The following is the details from about:plugins on the ActiveX plugin:
Mozilla ActiveX control and plugin support

    File name: npmozax.dll
    Mozilla ActiveX control and plugin module

MIME Type Description Suffixes Enabled
application/x-oleobject ActiveX *.ocx Yes
application/oleobject ActiveX *.ocx Yes
text/x-activescript ActiveScript *.axs Yes

Read the section "Control Blacklisting and Whitelisting" here:

Hi, did the above suggestion help you? I have the same problem with flash movies. They show "Movie not loaded..." in FF on right click, but play fine in IE. So, yes I have the ActiveX plugins for IE, but *not* for FF. I do not have a plugin for "application/x-oleobject" in about:plugins, and I have no record for "ActiveX control" there either.
Any idea what I could try?

Many thanks,
David.
