Mac ::: Problem with Flash in Firefox solved…at least for me

April 1st, 2008 at 22:21

Hooray.

I had a horrible bug/problem for several month now with firefox and flash.

embedded flash movies (i.e. from Youtube) were only shown if i almost scolled away from them. Seemed like the scroll-out action reanimated the flash-content each time.

Well as i haven’t found a solution for this issue i personally blamed Adobe for it…..but… i was WRONG.

Seems like this is a known issue of Adblock (Version 0.7.5.1 )

There is really no need to de-activate AdBlock (way to important for me).

Solution (at least for me and many others):

  • Open Firefox
  • Enter: about:config in the addressbar
  • Use the filterlist to find this entry: extensions.adblockplus.frameobjects and change it to false
  • Restart Firefox

Enjoy flash movies like you never did before hehe.

The article above list some other ideas, so if you still have the problem continue reading :)
