Mac Forum / Applications / Mac Applications / March 2008Firefox/video problem
Sometimes when viewing video on a web page in Firefox the video frame is invisible unless the page is scrolled up so that the top of the frame touches the bottom of the menu bar. i've seen it with most types of web video, such as flash or QT. However it isn't consistent;it occurs at times, then doesn't occur. On youtube for instance, it happens on one video but not another. Or it may happen on all I view on a given session or none.

How do you access the Options ? My Adblock Plus Preferences only shows the Address Filters :-( I'm using a Mac G4, 10.2.8, FireFox 2.0.0.12, Adblock Plus 0.7.5.3 -- Reply via Newsgroup >> If you use AdBlock Plus, try changing the Options > Show Tabs on Flash >> and Java setting to see if that helps. > >How do you access the Options ? > >My Adblock Plus Preferences only shows the Address Filters :-( I didn't see them either - then I went to work and saw options there.

I didn't see that, but when I open the Tools/Add ons/Adblock Plus/preferences window, the options is available at the top. The drop down checks I have: x Enable Adblock Plus x Collapse blocked elements Check banner links x Show in toolbar Show in status bar > In article > <jollyroger-B01DE2.17170706032008@earthlink.vsrv-sjc.supernews.net>, [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > I didn't see that Look again.

When I right-click (Control-click) the ABP icon in the web browser window (status bar, in my case), the Options sub-menu shows: Show tabs on Flash and Java x Collapse blocked elements Check banner links Show in toolbar x Show in status bar What version of AdBlock Plus are you running??

Try *normal* clicking the little arrow beside the ABP icon in the tool bar, then look at the Options sub-menu. You'll see the "Show tabs on Flash and Java" menu item I've been talking about all this time. > > > when I open the Tools/Add ons/Adblock > > > Plus/preferences window, the options is available at the top.

When I right-click the ABP icon in the statu bar (bottom) of a Firefox window, I get the Options sub-menu with the items listed above.

Hmmm, my usual suspect worked OK. Maybe I just needed to Quit Firefox and restart after setting up ABP.

I sure have, and I have no solution. However, I haven't seen it happen in FF3b3. SignatureBart: This is the worst day of my life.

I've asked about this in mozilla.support.firefox in news.mozilla.org, but haven't yet found why this happens. When I look at this page http://www.neatorama.com/index.php and it has videos, I can only see the videos by scrolling up and down to the right spot. Thanks to all who responded. Jolly Roger's advice to change the Adblock option on show tabs on Flash and Java seems to have worked. It was checked, apparently by default, and I unchecked it. By the way Howard, the link you enclosed behaved the same way for me as it did you - it worked as intended when the option was changed.
