Re: [IxDA Discuss] Testing for No Flash situation
Sorry it took me so long to reply... got caught up in other issues (I'm sure we can all relate). Thank you for taking the time to offer some suggestions. RE: Mac I might have to keep the Mac option open, but I really needed to see what it looks like on Windows browsers which means (mostly) Windows. RE: FlashBlock I have AdBlock, but I need to see what happens when the Flash is detected but can't load vs. having it hidden the way these tools do. Ditto for the Flash and Pics Control feature. Re: Flash Switcher This looks interesting - I'll have to play with this one, particularly if it has a Flash Disabled option or something similar. RE: BrowserCam I was trying to avoid it, but that's what I eventually used to get some screenshots. But it's not a good long-term solution. Thanks again for the suggestions - I'll update if I do find something that helps me simulate a non-Flash experience short of removing and reinstalling Flash Player.

[IxDA Discuss] Testing for No Flash situation
I'm doing some reviews of a site and I need to be able to test what happens if someone doesn't have Flash Player, has an older version or has it disabled (for whatever reason). I would love to be able to get some SnagIt's of the screens I see, but I need to find a reliable way of simulating the experience, preferably with a Firefox add-on instead of having to turn to Browsercam or a similar service. Removing and reinstalling Flash Player isn't an option, and we don't have any test machines without Flash on them. Anyone know of a plugin or method I could use?

http://www.browsercam.com I've not used it but it looks like it may do what you need it to do, and has a free trial for at least some of the functionality.

Since you mention Firefox add-ons, you might try one of these: Flashblock https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/433 Flash Switcher (for Windows only) https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3649 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
