[Bug 392667] [NEW] Firefox and flashblock sometimes do not work well

[Atanas Atanasov]

Public bug reported:

I like enabling only flash content selectively on web-pages to reduce
CPU hog. The flashblock plugin for firefox provides this precise
feature. All flash content is blocked and you can enable it by clicking
on the box. Unfortunately, this does not always work fine. Sometimes,
the animation runs just fine, other times you get a gray box. I read
about some "fixes" to click inside the animation, then outside, and
others along the same lines but nothing worked. For example
http://www.mathworks.com/products/demos/shipping/matlab/New-MATLAB-
Mathematics-Features-in-R2009a.html does not work for me. I am running
Jaunty with most recent updates -- firefox 3.0.11+build2+nobinonly-
0ubuntu0.9.04.1, flash 10.0.22.87ubuntu2 and flashblock 1.5.10. I am
sure this is not a problem with flash since epiphany (which does not
have flashblock) displays content correctly (but does not block flash).
I tested the same versions of firefox and flashblock on Windows, but the
problem does not occur either. Any help is greatly appreciated!
