When I enter mafia wars through facebook, I can sometimes engage in a little game play before the video ad at the bottom of the page starts and my screen jumps to where the ad is located. Firefox will not let me close the ad or scroll back to where I can see the game screen and play mafia wars. I have to refresh the game in order to access any of the links on the page. After refreshing, I can sometimes play for a couple minutes before the problem recurs. It is very annoying and makes it impossible to play the game. It doesn't seem to matter which game I enter, the video ads at the bottom of the pages dominate and will not let me scroll or do anything. Is there a way to turn off the feature that automatically plays the ad or at least something that will allow me to reduce its priority so that I can continue to play the game without having to refresh every few minutes?

About support detected that Adobe Flash player is installed twice on the profile. I would make sure that one out of date is no longer installed.

Second, make sure that they are up to date: Please update your plugins to the latest version. Check to make sure you are up to date:

If you see any issues also see:

Having more than one version of a program may cause issues. You must remove the older programs. Then get the current full installer.

Note: Edge on Win10 does not use ActiveX version but its own Flash.

Flash: Grab the uninstaller from here: Uninstall Flash Player | Windows Uninstall Flash Player | Mac

Then reinstall the latest version.

Flash Player Version 19.0.0.185

If a plugin has focus then this plugin processes keyboard and mouse events and you need to click outside the plugin area to set to focus on the web page.
