(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Jon]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b4) Gecko/20050908 Firefox/1.4
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b4) Gecko/20050908 Firefox/1.4

Plugins such as shockwave/flash... don't display in the browser, however, the
plugin content is downloaded and in the case of sound/video such as media player
the content continues to play without the plugin being visable.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open the site that would normally load the plugin (e.g. jkrowling.com, or any
of the video content on news.bbc.co.uk)
Actual Results:  
jkrowling.com displays the site without the shockwave section at the center
allowing you to select a language.
The BBC media player will play content sound without the video footage.

Expected Results:  
jkrowling should show a language selector in shockwave, and bbc should show
video in real player as well as sound

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

Yup, bug 308561 applies - hadn't put 2 and 2 together with adblock before
submitting the bug...
