Plays fine here if I disable AdBlock Plus on nbc-2.com. But with ABP
fully enabled, it just sits there no matter what I click.
Looks like that was it - disabled Adblock Plus and it's working.
Thanks.
Flash is blocked by Mozilla as even 296 has a zero day vulnerability. I
don't know how you are getting them to play. For me, Sea Monkey reports
Flash 296 blocked. Fx can't even check plugins currently as Mozilla
apparently messed up the block. At least SeaMonkey can do a plugin
check currently. Even if Flash works for you it should be disabled
until Adobe issues a new update. The zero day exploit is being ACTIVELY
seen on Fx, SeaMonkey and IE. Disable Flash on all browsers until Adobe
issues a patch this week.
ANOTHER one!?
I'm making no special effort to get them to play. My SeaMonkey has not
tried to block Flash, and I haven't overruled it. I do have 296, and
when I updated just now, that's what Adobe installed.
So the question is, what have YOU done that your SM is blocking Flash?
For several days now, plugin check has not worked at all on Fx various
versions (or Pale Moon) and two different Oses. Plugin check does work
on Sea Monkey and Flash 296 is bright red and indicates dangerous. Maybe
it is not yet FORMALLY blocked as I know it is not yet on the Block List
but when I see a plugin that is notorious for vulnerabilities showing
bright red warning at Mozilla plugin page, while my other plugins are
green with nice checkmarks by them, I'm not going to even try to use
Flash. Red means STOP. The warning is NOT yellow. Yellow would
indicate "use at your own risk". Red means DANGEROUS Do NOT use and I
interpreted it to mean it was blocked. It should be blocked if the
warning is red. I have all pugins set to ASK and I have no intention of
saying yes to Flash at any website until Adobe updates it. (I have
disabled Flash in IE 10 and 11).
That's all well and good, and probably good advice. But it's not what
you said:
Flash is blocked by Mozilla as even 296 has a zero day
vulnerability.
As far as I can tell, /Mozilla/ is not blocking Flash, /you/ are. So
none of your readers should have any expectation that /Mozilla/ will
protect them in this situation. Mozilla will only warn the user and
leave it to the user's discretion and ingenuity to block Flash.
Of course, that could change. But at the moment, Mozilla is taking no
blocking action as it does with earlier versions of Flash.

The red tile you see at the plugins check page just means the plugin is
outdated. Which is a weird thing for Mozilla to say since 16.0.0.296 is
the very latest version from Adobe.
