Adobe Shockwave Flash runs in spite of NoScript settings trying to block it. It also crashes my system.

[Sam Azer]

Binary package hint: firefox

Using:

Kubuntu 10.10 beta 4.6
Firefox 4b12
Adobe Flash 10.2r152
NoScript 2.0.9.8

Problem:

* NoScript, configured to block all flash objects including those on whitelisted pages, is not blocking the flash objects.

* Flash objects run on page load and, after a few minutes, the entire system crashes.

Desired behavior:

* NoScript used to be able to detect a flash reference in a web page and replace it with a panel. Clicking on the panel would cause the Flash object to load and run. This behavior is very valuable for a variety of reasons.

* Any flash object on any page seems to crash the entire system after a few minutes. This may be the result of a problem with Flash but it might also be the result of a bug in the current Kubuntu Beta code that is triggered by Flash. Ideally the problem should be identified. It would be nice if there's a possible workaround or a fix to cause the system to behave gracefully rather than crashing.

Thanks for your service,
All the best,
Sam.

* After disabling Adobe Shockwave in the plugins panel it seems that NoScript is able to detect the reference in the page to the flash object. It correctly displays the panel for the flash object.

* If the Flash plugin is re-enabled things seem to work as expected.

(sorry - no longer able to reproduce the problem with noscript but very happy that it's blocking flash again.)
