Now, I noticed the presence of the video.
I looked at its contents.
I was again installed it, after uninstall “FlashControl”.
Although for some reason unknown, I was able to confirm that it is functioning properly.
Honestly, do not understand the cause of the issue, but it has been resolved.
Add-on, it seems it is not the cause.
Thank you for taking your time.
For people having troubles with Flash Control, please provide me as much information
as possible. Things like the following:
Check that these two files exist, and provide me with the download links to the two files if it is possible.
a) flashctrl.sqlite
b) jetpack\jid1-sNL73VCI4UB0Fw@jetpack\simple-storage\store.json
These two files can be found in %userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
Run Firefox in verbose mode. "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -no-remote -P default -console
Copy everything you see in the command prompt here.
Make a couple of screenshots for me.
(a) I need to see all the icons.
(b) I need to see at least the Flash Control entry.
Just to clarify, it IS working for you now, right?
That post wasn’t meant for you, you can ignore it, you don’t have to answer it. It’s meant for other people who might be having problems with Flash Control, so that I can better assist them.
I’ve been having issues recently where full-screening a YouTube video causes it to re-block, and exiting fullscreen puts the unblock button in strange places, like this:
Also, not a problem, but I thought this was pretty funny:
Background music plays automatically. I verified I don’t have anything relevant whitelisted. I do see a blocked Flash icon near the upper-left, but clicking it doesn’t seem to change anything. Also, there appears to be an unblocked Flash object, which I assume is where the music is coming from. Looked at source and found this:
Yes, you’re absolutely right, that’s where the music is coming from. But, if you look at the code, that isn’t a Flash object, it’s an unknown object, ie, it’s an object with no type. Firefox is either smart enough to have detected it as a Flash object internally (by reading the file header, the html mimetype, or other means), or simply just default unknown objects to Flash; Flash Control, on the other hand, can’t do that. Since Flash Control only promises to block Flash objects, it shouldn’t block unknown types, or “malformed” tags, right?
I tried, but I couldn’t find any explanation about this: what are the “F1L” boxes in the Flash Control sidebar? I see that the screenshots at the addon site show that at some previous version those were in fact “F12L”…
That is a malformed page. There shouldn’t be any tages between the “<head>” and “<body>” tags. I’ve noted it down. I’ll deal with it when I have the time – make Flash Control less strict to non-compliant sites (i.e. badly written web pages).
