Bug 113969 – mozilla-firefox-bin-1.5 breaks netscape-flash-7.0.61

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Jose daLuz 2005-11-29 18:22:47 UTC]

I run 32-bit firefox-bin on AMD64 to use 32-bit plugins.  Updating from 1.0.7 to
1.5, netscape-flash no longer works properly -- I get sound but no video.  There
were no problems with 1.0.7.

I checked the mozillazine forums and found that the problem is caused by the
Adblock extension.  Removing it got rid of the problem.

the problem seems not a adblock issue, but flashblock.
i've got both installed (yes, i'm paranoid),after disabling both and restarting firefox flash is working again, reenabling both and flash still working, but flashblock is not working anymore.
it's not a big issue, i can live without flashblock, but this plugin is way cool.
firefox(64)is my primary browser, i only use firefox-bin(32) for flash sites.

It is adblock, namely the old version of it (I know because I don't have flashblock installed). I unpdated adblock and all was well.
