I have the same problem on the homepage of Spectives.com. A Vimeo video is embedded
there with the swfobject embedding method.

I am experiencing this as well for some flash objects on a page, but not others.
Flash is attached to the page using JavaScript.

Same issue - Flash embedded using swfobj 2.2 - url example - encore-perform.co.uk
Comment 8 by simondonaldson, Oct 12, 2009
I too have found that page speed stops flash from displaying on the page. This is
with mootools swif and swfobject.

Inspecting the DOM shows the markup is there and visible (visibility=visible).
Firebug shows the markup as disabled but i cannot see why.

No errors, just nothing on screen!

Firefox 3.5.3
Firebug 1.4.3
Page speed 1.3

Comment 9 by bmcquade...@google.com, Oct 12, 2009
The issue appears to be related to swfobject. I still don't understand why 1.3 breaks 
swfobject. A changelist with the fix is available here, if you're interested: 
http://page-speed-codereview.appspot.com/39004/show

If you understand why this fixes the issue please let me know. I'm also going to 
follow up with Mozilla to see if there is a bug in their FF code that 1.3 was somehow 
tickling.

We should have an updated version ready to release by the end of today. Thanks again 
for filing this issue and letting us know!

I don't believe this is related to swfobject, but rather to the method of embedding
flash using the object tag (which is the standard way of embedding flash these days).
You can verify this by:

1. Using Firefox 3.5.3
2. Using Firebug 1.4.3
3. Using PageSpeed 1.3
4. Disabling JavaScript (to rule out swfobject as the cause)
5. Visiting the following test page:
http://www.bobbyvandersluis.com/swfobject/testsuite_2_2/test.html

The test page attempts to embed a flash using the "nested-objects method", which
fails using the conditions above.

Even embedding a flash using the "standard object method" (see code below), without
any references to swfobject fails using PageSpeed 1.3.

Standard object method:

<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="myContent.swf" width="300"
height="120">
    <p>Alternative content</p>
</object>

We have a new build that should fix this issue, which you can download here:

https://dl-ssl.google.com/page-speed/1.3.0.1/page-speed.xpi

Please try out the new build and let us know if it fixes the issue.

Page display normaly for me with the new version.
Thx !
Comment 14 by bmcquade...@google.com, Oct 13, 2009
This issue should be fixed and you can now download a version of Page Speed with the 
fix from:
https://dl-ssl.google.com/page-speed/1.3.0.1/page-speed.xpi
or
https://dl-ssl.google.com/page-speed/beta/page-speed.xpi

If you were automatically updated to 1.3, your browser should automatically update 
you to the new, fixed version of Page Speed the next time it performs an update 
check. To force an update check, in Firefox, do the following: In the "Tools" menu, 
Select "Add-ons" and then click "Find Updates".

Please let us know if you encounter any issues with the new build. We appreciate the 
helpful bug reports. Thanks!
