Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 308918

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[sukru]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050915 Firefox/1.0.7
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050915 Firefox/1.0.7

I've updated Firefox and flash on several machines (specifically Windows XP SP2,
Windows XP x64 and Gentoo x86) and installed Flash via the "missing plugin" button.

However I'm no longer able to see any Flash animations.

I'm not alone this has been reported *many* times :)

Some mention that audio works for them, I've not checked so I cannot say
anything about it.

Please fix this as soon as possible, Flash is really important (some web sites
require it for *navigation*, I know it's bad design but I cannot do about them atm)

Thanks a lot!

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install firefox 1.0.7 and your usual plugins (adblock, ieview, etc)
2. go to http://www.flash.com
3. install flash via "missing plugin" button

Actual Results:  
big blank areas with "adblock" tab on them

Expected Results:  
big flash animation with "adlobk" tab on them :)

As it says in bug 308561, having object tabs enabled in adblock breaks the
latest versions of flash. You must disable them to get it working again.
