Hi, I've scoured the net for this and haven't found anything so sorry  
if this isn't news to you.

I've been finding recently that the MySpace media player (which  
appears to have changed, actually) will get flagged by Flashblock  
(good) and then when I click on the icon, it disappears and leaves a  
big space where the player should be (bad).  However, if the media is  
on auto-play music will start streaming - you just have no control  
over it (worse).

I've tried the AdBlock turning tabs off thing and the only thing that  
works is whitelisting myspace.com (which is not so great, since  
MySpace is the entire reason I installed Flashblock :) ).

I have Flashblock 1.5.8, Firefox 3 and I've tried Flash 9 & 10, both  
Windows XP and Mac.  I think there was a similar bug found with Camino  
but I'm not sure.

Thanks for your help!

Hi Crankie Tech,

You are not alone. Our tracking bug is:
<https://www.mozdev.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=20037>
The related Camino bug is:
<https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=481976>

Camino uses Flashblock technology from us so is facing the same problem.

This is difficult to track down since different people are seeing different
things even without Flashblock and some are seeing the same problem with
Safari and Opera, neither of which can use Flashblock.

First in SeaMonkey:
Edit->Preferences->Advanced->Software Installation.
Make sure "Allow websites to install extensions" is checked.
Click on "Allowed Sites". Make sure mozdev.org is in the list.

Then go to:
<http://flashblock.mozdev.org/installation2.html>

Scroll down until you see a link that says:
" Install Flashblock 1.3.11 for ... SeaMonkey 1.0 to 2.0a ..."

Click on that link.
