[Unrelated] Cannot click on YouTube video placeholder
[Unrelated] Cannot click on YouTube video placeholder
NS 2.6.6.9rc1. If I go to a Youtube video page and temp-allow scripts on www. youtube. com only, I can't click the flash placeholder for the player. I can still temp-allow it from the Blocked Objects menu, but on this computer I can't interact with the video player. The issue with the placeholder appears to be profile-related, but with this profile on an Ubuntu system running Fx 17.0.7 I can still interact with the player. This issue started when I changed the OS in my user-agent string to Windows Vista x86-64. Reverting that didn't help. Any ideas how I can fix this?

I'm not quite following, but all looks to be working as expected for me.
Playback starts upon clicking the placeholder.
No need to visit blocked objects.
> issue with the placeholder appears to be profile-related
As a test, create a new, clean Profile, install only NoScript.
Does that work?
If it does, then go back to your original Profile & disable all other extensions & check ...

Re: Cannot click on YouTube video placeholder
Thanks for your help, therube. Found an old version of my profile (before this started) and after plugging that in it turns out that the issue is caused by mis-configuration of Adblock Plus filters. Sorry about that.
