Flash sometimes can't render?
I am using Firefox 4b3 (Also this problem with b2 though) because it is quicker, more efficient and I prefer the tabs above, than b1 or 3.6. One problem I have is that some flash applications will render while others don't. The ones that work usually screw up when I scroll, however redraw when something needs redrawing, but the others don't do anything. I find it really annoying to have to boot up b1 or safari just so I can watch one video or play a game. If there is any help out there it would be greatly appreciated. :)
One thing to note though, is if I enable AdBlock I can see said flashes (barely) by scrolling up and down, however if I disable it I can't see it at all. Also I have a PowerPC mac.
EDIT:
Okay, I'll explain my situation a bit more: 3.6 - Works, but extemely slow and unattractive. 4.0b1 - Works, but fairly slow and unattractive. 4.0b2 - Flash problems, fairly slow. 4.0b3 - Flash problems, fast. 4.0b4 - Horribly broken beyond repair. 4.0b5 - Worse than b4. 4.0b6 - Even worse than b5. 4.0b7 - Intel only.

This beta version is old. Use the latest one that you can download from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/beta/.
It will solve your issue.
I tried that, I can't use it. It doesn't have PowerPC support.

Did you start this thread using the PPC Mac?? 'Cause this is the UserAgent for the browser you initially posted with.
Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; PPC Mac OS X 10.5; rv:2.0b3) Gecko/20100805 Firefox/4.0b3
Two potential solutions I can think of:
1. For non-PPC Mac's, you are probably better off sticking with the Firefox 3.6.x versions.
2. See the AdBlock Plus support forum to see if they have any ideas.
Yes I did start it with the PPC Mac. I found a download for b4 here: http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org//firefox/releases/ and am trying it out now. I'll add another reply if it gets sorted.
Okay, b4 was just as broken as b5. I'm going to try b6, but I doubt it will be PPC.
EDIT: While b6 is PPC compatible, it is just as bad as b4 and b5.
Anyone got other suggestions?

Is OOPP enabled for all plugins or particularly for Flash in that 4.0 beta version?
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Plugin-container_and_out-of-process_plugins
Did you try to disable the hardware acceleration in the Flash player, if that is possible on Mac?
Flash "Display settings" window:
Okay, so it was enabled for flash only, but this was in all of them from 3.6 to 4b3. I disabled it but it made no difference. Hardware acceleration was already turned off because it only seemed to make my system slower.
HOWEVER
I downloaded the most recent 3.6 and now it's just as fast as b3 (sans start up shut down). So really it's only a dilemma on how pretty it is :P Is there a plugin for 3.6 that puts the tabs on top?
