Can't click on anything in flash elements: Firefox, F12

[enthdegree]

I've been having some trouble getting help for this problem in the IRC channels, so here goes.

Nothing responds when I click on anything in flash elements. ( The sole exception being the music player at Playlist.com, which might not even be flash-based. ) Buttons do glow properly when you hover over them, though.

I'm running Firefox 3.5.4 on 32 bit Fedora 12 that I upgraded from F11. All of my packages are up to date, and I'm getting the Flash plugin from the Adobe repo. It's version 10.0.32.18.

This wasn't happening before I upgraded.

I have the same setup as you without problems. Do you have any other ff plugins?

isnt there Firefox-3.5.5 in the rawhide repo?

its here in koji http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/b...buildID=139861 just use rpm -Uvh to get it

I have these addons installed:
Adblock+
Adblock Element Hiding Helper
Automatic Save Folder
Aviary
Classic Compact Options
Download Statusbar
DragDropUpload
FEBE
FireFTP
Greasefire
Greasemonkey
Nuke Anything Enhanced
OPIE
User Agent Switcher
Vimperator
WOT

I'm installing FF 3.5.5 as I type...

have you tried disabling all the Addons an see if it works?.. GreaseMonkey might be a problem, try disabling that

Still nothing. )c:

Try holding down your right-click then left-click on the button. I have to do this in Ubuntu 9.10 for whatever reason.

Hey, it works!
Still kind of annoying you have to do that.

Thanks for the workaround. (c:

I think that's compiz related, I have the same problem with compiz desktop effects enabled, eg try selecting a game at

http://www.ferryhalim.com/orisinal/

but no problem if I disable effects (I'm in Fedora 12 now, ubuntu enables basic effects by default)

I may play with this later and let you know if I get a fix, someone probably knows the trick.

Bump: Ah, there you go https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubun...7/comments/153

translating the fix to Fedora 12 (i686)

su -
cd /usr/lib/nspluginwrapper/
mv npviewer.bin npviewer.bin.real
echo \#\!/bin/sh > npviewer.bin
echo GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=true /usr/lib/nspluginwrapper/npviewer.bin.real \$\* >> npviewer.bin
chmod 755 npviewer.bin

restart firefox
