Thanks for posting that FlashBlock fix on their addon page. I saw in the comments "thanks c627627 I hope others see your post" and went heywaitasecond. Made that change, bounced the browser, and now I don't have to delete that stupid object to watch Youtube videos!

I am at a loss to understand why the author doesn't make this Add-on compatible with Firefox 35+ by simply adding these 3 lines. Copy-paste this into your Firefox profile's \CHROME\userContent.css file:

@namespace url(http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml);
@-moz-document domain("youtube.com"){
#theater-background { display:none !important;}}

Flashblock is broken again.

I have found a working alternative:

Flash Control is an extension for the Firefox that blocks ALL Flash content from loading. It then leaves placeholders on the webpage that allow you to click to download and then view the Flash content.

Thanks for the fix, having to manually delete that div was getting really annoying.

It is only broken on YouTube for me. If I click the flash object to enable the video, I can still see it in the background, and the audio plays with no video.

There appears to be no reason for us to stick with bug ridden Flashblock (whose author made no effort to copy-paste three lines of code in the past), when this appears to be a very much working alternative:
