Slideshow, Firefox and Adblock Plus

chakras

Hi, w.r.t. my galleries at http://chakras.smugmug.com, when viewing slideshows with IE, it is working fine. But when I am trying to view it on Firefox (3.0.3) that has Adblock Plus installed as a plugin, the slideshow button becomes un-clickable (I do not get the hand icon when hovering over it).

If I disable Adblock Plus on the page - the hand icon is available and the button is enabled, but when the slideshow page loads it comes up empty - no images are loaded.

This is probably not a Smugmug issue, but I had not encountered any such issues with Adblock Plus before (eg. Youtube - that also uses flash).

Any clues? :help

P.S. Notice the Adblocks - Block tab for this object!

The slideshow button itself is a flash object which is why it doesn't work when flash is blocked. To let the slideshow actually work, you may also have to unblock api.smugmug.com in addition to this particular page because that's an address that the flash slideshow communicates with.

Thanks for your response jfriend. Adblock wasn't blocking the flash object. But somehow, slideshow did not work if I disabled it on the page itself. I set the preference to disable it on entire chakras.smugmug.com - and now everything is working fine.
