309285 - Flash objects in page load but do not get displayed

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 308918

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[yosh]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; de-DE; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050717 Firefox/1.0.6
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; de-DE; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050717 Firefox/1.0.6

I installed Firefox 1.5 Beta. After that I noticed that flash objects are not
displayed anymore. Removing the beta version and going back to Firefox 1.0.6 did
not help. Now, on whatever website, if there are flash objects, all it does is
load them (status bar says "loaded") but not show them. I see a white page - or
spot if it's part of a page.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to a Website with flash objects
2. Watch for missing objects (white or blank spots or empty frames if loaded in
separate frame)
3.

Actual Results:  
I cannot see the flash objects that should be visible.

Expected Results:  
Well, see them...

WFM. Have you installed flash? http://www.macromedia.com/

Related to bug 309283 and maybe bug 309163 (flash loading <> not loading)?

Do you have adblock installed with object tabs enabled? See bug 308561

No response from reporter, this is almost definatly the adblock problem.

Yosh, if you are still having the problem and do not have adblock installed then please reopen this.
