3. Will see "Loading 00%" problem

Actual Results:  
Will see Flash display "Loading 00%", and continue "Loading 00%" forever.
Cannot get into Next Flash Display.

Expected Results:  
Will see Flash display "Loading 00%" to "Loading 90%"
Then Get into Next Flash Display.

No problem by using MS IE

True! the falsh would not load. The only thing that will make the flash load is
to right click on the flash and choose play!

Flash does not load.  When I followed the automatic "Click to install: routine, 
it asked for confirmation, which I did, and then I agreed to the license 
request.  That's where it stopped and looked at me, ad infinitem.
I went to the Macromedia/Flash install site and installed from there.
It was successful.
Firefox still doesn't see it; and still sends me in the same misguided 
direction.

All else is working fine  (IE, OS, network, OL)

This is a serious problem.  I am using version: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows
NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

This is on an Intel 2.4 ghz, Windows XP SP2.
When I go to the following sites information shows up diferently than from
compiling in Flash.
http://artistint.com/work/
This site should show 5 pictures randomly and at random intervals.  It will show
one in Firefox, then quit.  IE 6 is perfect.  If you refresh in FF, then it
works fine.

Blank blue page in FF.  IE 6 is perfect.

Flash is such a standard and 3rd party development, that it should show up
perfectly in FF.  What gives?

What makes you think Flash is used in a webpage in a correct way? Try contacting
webmaster and asking if he could make his page work with Firefox or at least
provide a slightly more technical report here.

Yep.  Same Problem here.

I am using a Dell D600 laptop with Windows XP Pro and I am encountering the same problem as described. When I try to go on websites with some Flash stuff, the websites stay blank. My version of FF is 
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051111 Firefox/1.5

I don't know if it is a Flash problem or FF problem but it works usually with IE.
Cheers

I've just kind of fixed the problem in my case. I am using Adblock v0.5.2.039. I've gone to the menu Tools -> Adblock -> Preferences and in the Abblock Options, I have removed the tick against "Obj-Tabs" and now the websites which had problems are all working again.

Reporter, do you have any extensions such as AdBlock, or have you tried a new profile/version of FireFox? Please reopen if you still see the problem.
