Firefox won't load some Flash objects

pghohnst · 04-27-2008, 12:46 PM

Firefox and Flash player used to work perfectly together for me. Recently (the past few weeks), there have been some issues.
Some, but not all, flash videos, and some Flash-based links or menus, don't work in Firefox. For the videos, it sometimes won't even show there is supposed to be a video there, but when I visited the site a few weeks back, it was.
I've tried reinstalling the most recent versions of Flash and of Firefox, but this doesn't seem to help the issue at all.

In an odd querk, some of the Flash-based things that don't work in Firefox DO work in IE, but then again some don't, which leads me to think it may be a Flash thing.
I've tried this with firewalls disabled too, with no luck.

If anyone has any ideas or suggestions, let me know, I'd love to get this fixed, and would appreciate any help I can get.

First things first...

Do you have any add-on's installed on your Firefox?

If you do, which ones?

Thanks for your response!

The add-ons I have on Firefox are:
RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin 1.00
Talkback 2.0.0.11

I believe the problem started before I installed RealPlayer, but there's a chance I could be wrong

Go to tools-options-content and see if your javascript settings are checked.

We will start there and see if we can narrow this down.
