I have Firefox 1.5 and Adblock. I tried the site with Adblock ver 0.5.2.039 and the site viewed fine. I then updated Adblock to version 0.5 d3 nightly42 and the site still viewed just fine, no problems.

One thing that did cause problems for me with site multimedia files was one of the options in Adblock that I had to change. If you open the options for Adblock and remove the check on the option "obj-tabs" and see if it works now. I made this change a while back and that is the only thing in the Adblock settings that I have changed. I do not know if that could be the differance in some being able to view the site with Adblock.

That did not fix it for me.

Now that I think about this a bit, I'm a little concerned about security and having a shared namespace between the extension and remote javascripts. Maybe this property was explicitly shared for a good reason and it's not that big a deal... If I had more motivation I'd go ask around the mozilla forums about it. CTho, do you know much about that sort of thing?

It won't let me in on either of my two computers with Firefox. One has Firefox 1.5 & Adblock Plus, the other has Firefox 1.0.6 & Adblock v0.5.2.039.

Doesn't work for me.

FF 1.07, Adblock, Filterset G + updater

So it's not FF 1.5 issue nor Plus issue if that wasn't already discovered.
