Whenever I visit a certain webpage, an swf file automatically downloads, and opens in flash player. The flash player in question, says its "Kalturas open source video player", and the flash player has a TMZ logo in the corner. Not sure why that is. Anyway, haven't had an issue like this before, and it just started today. I've tried toggling flash player settings, restarting firefox, restarting my computer, but it seems to be sticking/ Might just be an issue with new flash update, or mozilla update, but I couldn't find anyone else that was having this issue or how to resolve it.

Is it part of the web page, or a pop-up?

I believe it's from a link on the web page

A few other people noted it in the comments ctrl+f "pop-up", "flash" http://minx.cc:1080/?post=351656

Flash block {web link} Never be annoyed by a Flash animation again! Blocks Flash so it won't get in your way, but if you want to see it, just click on it
