Exception Rule not working

Hi guys,

I am having some issues with ABP.

I am accessing following pages

http://www.topranger.net/s3.php?s=1stFebNB-1Finale
http://www.topranger.net/s3.php?s=1stFebNB-2Finale
http://www.topranger.net/s3.php?s=1stFebNB-3Finale
http://www.topranger.net/s3.php?s=1stFebNB-4Finale

I added following exception to ABP in order to display video on the page.

@@|http://66.90.109.50/*

My ABP Version is 1.0.1
Firefox 3.0.6

But this is not working for me (I can listen only audio). Is this a bug or something in ABP?

It is working here - but then again, I don't have a Windows Media Player version with that particular glitch... Maybe Monzta can help look at this, I guess that disabling "Show tabs on Flash and Java" option no longer helps here.

@gekkoplus
I don't know if this works or not but you could try it if you run out of suggestions.
Try to resize the Firefox window and make it smaller, then reload the page.
If that doesn't work, then you could try to move the Firefox window around to different positions on your desktop.
I've seen this issue happen before, and doing these things seems to have an effect, although it's very erratic...

Btw, this seems to be an instance of bug 475299.

It works intermittently. If you just refresh the page, it would show up as a blank space again.

Do you mean to say if I move to a different version of my WMP, it will solve the issue? This is the first time I had this issue and I regularly visit this site. Is Firefox 3.0.6 a culprit?

A current Firefox 3.1 nightly from http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/ ... lla-1.9.1/ or Firefox 3.1 Beta 3 (when it comes out) should fix the issue. Maybe you could test whether this is really the case.

I moved back to 2.x version of firefox for now and that seem to have fixed the issue. I look forward to installing new Beta version of Firefox when it is out.
