Firefox with Flash 8 plugin not working
Filed Under (Free Software, Windows) by cranst on 14-11-2005
If you are running version 1.0.7 or 1.5 beta of Mozilla Firefox with the AdBlock extension (v0.5+), odds are you are not getting the Flash you deserve. Apparently, the new flash plugin (v8) perceives the Obj-Tabs of AdBlock as security threats and doesn’t allow the display of any presentations while those are present. The fix is quite easy, but you will lose a small fraction of AdBlocks usefulness. To fix, open Firefox, click on Tools–>AdBlock–>Preferences–>AdBlock Options and deselect Obj-Tabs. After this, you should be able to refresh the page and see all of the glorious Flash. Here are some before and after shots of the fix (macromedia.com).

Thanks for the tips, it works great!
