I have testes this at many locations and all have the same effect. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install Firefox 1.5 Beta 1 over Firefox 1.0.6 1.5. Install Flash plugin (didn't change anything same problem before and after) 2. Go to http://share.skype.com/index.php?option=content&sectionid=3&task=view&id=41&Itemid=70 or some other flash video 2.There should be sound but no video and you can't right click to view flash prefs. Actual Results: Sound, but no video of Flash menu when I right clicked on where the movie should be. Expected Results: Shown the video and the prefs when I right click on the video along with the sound. Windows XP Home Ed. SP2
Yes, the page I provided above was just the one I first relized it at, I have since tried multiple sites (ugotgames.com) and the same problem occurs.

I'm seeing this same behavior on linux too. I believe http://www.macromedia.com/ would be the canonical example. Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8b4) Gecko/20050908 Firefox/1.4

I just noticed while fooling around with this bug, if you get the location of the flash video itself, and point Firefox to there (i.e. http://www.foobar.com/foobar.swf) the flash video plays as it should, this narrows down the problem to when the movie in embeded.
I was having the exact same problem, I Disabled Adblock (v0.5.2.039). Once I did this flash began to display again.
Yep, it was adblock messing it up, so I guess that this is not a bug with firefox but with adblock, ok, thaks for your help, should I close/ mark as invalid?
workaround found on Adblock forums: "Turn off Object Tabs."
Invalid as per reporters comment. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 308918 ***

Well, I feel dumb. Looks like the fix for me was to simply disable the Adblock extension. :-/
well i don't know whether this is a bug in the flash 8 plugin or firefox 1.5 rc3, but i definitely have this bug without ever having installed adblock (i just uninstalled, deleted profile, installed)
