Makes sense, indeed. Sorry for the noise, then :-)

Click to allow the blocker to show the Flash element, and then show in the 
inspector where the actual Flash element is, rather than the blocker's 
placeholder. If you can't find it... it must be a bug in the blocker extension 
and there is indeed no Flash.

I don't see any flash content on https://www.kde.org/ - firefox on mageia v7
located in Israel. You can share a link to the screenshot after you uploaded it
to a web service, or to an image sharing site such as https://imgur.com/ .

Hi Myriam,

I've taken a look and don't see any Flash on the site here.

Also, that element is in a really strange place. The place where the
"no flash" elements are inserted shouldn't have anything there, as the
 element of the page should be the first element after 
(and your no flash elements are in between these).

Could you please check the original source your browser is being served?

Thanks,
Ben
