Firefox embedded video problem

I just realized I wasn't alone with this problem so I'll ask here.

I can't properly view embedded video using firefox. There is a big empty space where the video should be, but if I scroll up/down so that the video just moves off screen a hair, the video appears and I can then view it. Perfect example: http://gizmodo.com/384526/exclusive-...ar-in-the-wild

I can't see, much less play, the video unless I scroll up and park it so its slightly off screen. Then it works.

Same page works normally in safari so its got to be a firefox thing. I just upgraded to firefox 2.0.0.14 to try to solve this but no luck.

It was Ad Block Pro. If anyone else has this problem, turn off the tabs on flash and java in ABP.
