PIXEL::BLOG Just another weblog

Ok, i’m sitting here trying to  install maelstrom on Firefox 1.04 getting this error

It’s a german WinXP, and it says that the certificate is blocked from download.macromedia.com.

So i tried to install it manually with this installer, restarted FF. went to macromedia.com, to check version number, and got … nothing

Obviuosly it is adBlock - an extension to firefox - which blocks maelstrom consequently. Fortunaltely you’re able to reactivate flash content, by disabling adBlock via ‘Extras->adBlock->options->enable adBlock’. Unfortunately, as you can see, this is kinda lame, cause adBlock is a real time saver for me, and i personally don’t wanna do all this "click, scroll, click, ENTER, hitF5" etc. pp.  So i found some useful shortcuts, that might be more handy that the normal way. Although i would personally prefer an adBlock that wouldn’t block all my flash files …

Oh here’s what Jenny proposes to do:

"You can see flash again by unchecking Obj-Tabs in the AdBlock Options until this is fixed."

And guess what: It works !
