cannot click on running swf

[Marco Londero]

Binary package hint: flashplugin-nonfree

After upgrading from 9.04 to 9.10 or with a fresh new install of 9.10 I'm not able to click anywhere during running swf (both firefox and epiphany). Sample on youtube videos: going to youtube home page or opening a video URL playback starts correctly, but I'm not able to click pause/start, fullscreen and all other options. The only one working is right-click and open flash player "Settings", anyway, after opening settings, swf is "blocked" there (video playback still running).

I'm effected as well. It seems to happen on and off again. Closing the browser and re-opening sometimes works and sometimes doesn't but either way it continues to happen.
