Flash doesn't work in Firefox

[Gunslinger08]

If you're using Firefox, go to http://www.fortminor.com

Does it work for you? I'm having issues where flash items won't load. Works fine in IE. Any ideas?

Ah, yeah.. just found that solution.

It's a problem with Adblock + Flash 8.

Fvck! I knew I shouldn't have upgraded my flash. It kept bugging me so I updated it. It was working like a day ago. :|:|:|:|:|:|:|

Works for me. I haven't upgraded yet though.

Alright disabling obj-tabs in adblock fixes it. I'm not sure what that does tho.

Hey, who are these guys btw? They sound like Linkin Park.

Yes, it works just fine, and I *WISH* it didn't 🙁

Works fine for me. Haven't updated flash for a while.

Oh, and that does NOT sound like linkin park, linkin park is much better.

It's Mike Shinoda's side project. Mike is the asian rapper guy in LP.

For those of you who aren't having Flash issues with FF, what version of the flash player are you using? 7 or 8?

the problem is with the new flash player and firefox.

downgrade back to the old version and it works fine

Yea. I used the v8 uninstall utility from Macromedia at first, manually checked the uninstall, checked file associations for swf files, ditched adblock and reinstalled v7. Still busted.

I did everything all over again, and manually deleted all v7/v8 files in all locations and again reinstalled v7 and it's still busted.

Oh well.

Just reinstall Adblock and Flash 8, and then go into Adblock's options. Disable OBJ-TABs and it works fine. Now you just lose the Adblock tabs on the corners of iFrames.

That's not a thread, it's a forum. Where software threads belong.
