Hi, I see you have Flashblock, Yahoo Mail Button and Yahoo Toolbar extensions. Try temporarily disabling those - in particular Flashblock, to see if one of them is causing the problem. Also try Adblock Plus - although that is less likely.

If it isn't your extensions, click the icon (globe or padlock) at the left-hand end of the address bar - the Site Identity button, > More information > Permissions tab, and make sure Flash isn't set to 'Block.'

Hope that helps.
