[RESOLVED] Some Flash Objects not showing anymore

I ungraded to 1.9.2 last night on my home PC, and this morning on my work PC. Now I cannot get certain content to even show up on some websites that were OK the day before and some website won't even come up at all...

Examples:
1. A couple of sections in the middle frame on the following page no longer will show: http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/ There should be a Scoreboard section under the Headlines section, and it will no longer show.
2. I cannot get to the http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/ site at all. The status bar just flips quickly between "Connecting to roadrunnerrecords.com..." and "Waiting for roadrunnerrecords.com..." and eventually fails after about 5-8 minutes or so.

Both of these sites worked just fine yesterday before upgrading to 1.9.2 and I can get all the content and get to the site if I use IE.

Nothing else has been upgraded on my work or home PC in the last 24 hours.

I'm investigating, it might also be some new behavior of Firefox 3.0.9 to be worked around, since the scoreboard works just fine on Fx 2.0.x and, as you said, everything was fine yesterday.

Those sites place flash objects using swfobject.js, which I posted about in NoScript Development http://forums.informaction.com/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=880 before I saw this.

For reference: Security Advisories Fixed in Firefox 3.0.9.

(And all working well in SeaMonkey 1.1.16.)

I already found the culprit change (3.0.8 is unaffected, in facts) and will release a development build working around this issue within today.
The need for an "emergency" update on the stable channel will be evaluated according to the number of reports I'll receive in the meanwhile.

Should be fixed in latest development build. Please confirm.
