Flash player settings dialog unclickable

[ayanamist]

I'm suffering the same problem on Firefox and Google-Chrome (not Chromium)
I'm using Ubuntu 11.10 w/o Gnome-Do, i nearly use default settings come with installation.
I'm a newbie and don't know how to turn off window manager or window effects.
Can someone post details?

I have the same problem on 11.10, I don't remember having this problem on 10.10.

Edit: Just logged out and tried the flash settings while in unity 2d and I didn't have the problem. whatever the problem is it's a problem with unity 3d.

I use the betterprivacy addon for firefox which doesn't allow the storing of LSO's such as flash settings so it would be really convenient for the dialog to be clickable. For now, I have to right click>select global settings>select website privacy>select allow>reload page>re-sign in...just clicking allow would be waaaaay easier.

This worked for me.

Why - because most installations shouldn't need the file.

Yes - create it yourself - those settings certainly helped me out.

Create it? Out of a what? I'd like to get this fixed too.

How did you access the flash settings while in Unity 2D? I'm also running Ubuntu 11.10 (64-bit) and when I right-click on a Flash video in Firefox 9, I get a context menu with "Settings" (which I can't click), "Global Settings" (which takes me to a page on Adobe's website), and "About Adobe Flash Player..." (which takes me to the page which displays the current Flash player version info).

Thanks!

Peace...

I did "right cick > select Global Settings" but I don't know how to do "Select Website Privacy" because I don't see "Website Privacy."

I'm using Adobe Flash Player version 11.1.102.55.

UPDATE: I think you're giving instructions for the Firefox plugin "betterprivacy". I am using Chrome 16.0.912.77. I'm trying to click on the Flash Player Settings dialog that pops up on http://armorgames.com/play/12009/the...and-union-city.

I found a solution: I was using google chrome in ubuntu linux and I installed a chrome extension called "Flashcontrol". Now the adobe flash player settings window doesn't appear anymore.

thanks. will try this "FlashControl" when the need arises.

FlashControl doesn't seem to do the job. It can block the Flash application completely, but I want to still allow the Flash app but just block the question that pops up.
