Adblock Plus blocking yahoo games

When opening Yahoo games I am able to navigate to the page that says "click here to Continue"
At that point Adblock Plus will not let me progress any further.
I have allowed Yahoo this page and Yahoo games. The only way to get beyond that page is to disable Adblock Plus.
What do I disable to allow Yahoo games but still have Adblock active?

It's a Java-based game and the problem is likely Linux-only (at least everything works for me on Windows) - bad interaction between Firefox and Java once again
. Can you try switching from Open Java to Sun's Java or the other way round? I guess only one of those is affected.
Java

I have tried running both Sun and open Java
Sun jre1.6.0_13 works better on this Debian Lenny distro.
The Firefox and Yahoo games work perfectly when Adblock Plus is disabled or uninstalled in the Firefox add-ons.
When I disable the page in Adblock Plus the button turns green but then when I try to go to the next page everything freezes.

I know - but GreaseMonkey or Google Toolbar or a bunch of other extensions (anything using content policies) will cause the same issue.

I run three extensions at the present time:
Adblock Plus 1.0.2 was the first added and the problem occurred immediately.
The other two are WOT site adviser and 1 Click Weather
I normally run Easy List (USA) filters but the problem persist with or without Easy List filters.
I also run Windows XP with the same combo of extensions and no problems. But then that is a different operating system. No comparison.
I do not know what else to try. To help you trouble shoot.

One option to try is installing a current Firefox nightly build:
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/ ... est-trunk/
This isn't something you want to use for day to day browsing - but at least it will show whether the issue has been already fixed on Mozilla's side. Otherwise maybe they aren't aware of this issue yet - a bug report needs to be filed.
