I’m using Opensuse 11.2 Gnome edition with Firefox 3.6.16. It has worked fine for months. But, all of a sudden I’m getting this error when I visit websites that have flash content.
Content [application/x-shockwave-flash] found
Do you want to download it to…
Sometimes I close the window with the error message, and it reappears; sometimes several times. And, I can’t view any flash content, such as youtube.
This makes Firefox pretty useless. How do I fix? Thanks.

You are saying I should create a new user and see if I can view flash content when logged in as that user?
I think that is what he means… maybe you have an addon messing up or a setting in your user config…

exactly…use YaST to create a test user…then log out from that
session, and back in as the test user, and see if flash works…report
the results back to this thread…

I had similar problem and after I spent a lot of time uninstalling and installing things, I found it : was an extra for Firefox called “Media Stealer 1.2.1”; when I disabled him, that window message was gone !
