Safari downloading flash videos, when i don't want it to.

[rich2k4]

this happens at least 2-3 times a day. I will click to go to a youtube video, or some video on a site. The download box will immediately pop up and it will start to download the flv file of the video i'm watching. It gets annoying, but it doesn't happen all the time.

is there any way to turn this off?

Just saying, that's pretty funny. I don't have an answer for you but I could bump this for you so you will get more replies, but bumping isn't allowed... So my answer is to repair disk permissions (no, you don't have to actually do that). Someone help this poor guy!

Have you got any Safari plug-ins or input managers installed? This behaviour has been reported when people have both ClicktoFlash and GlimmerBlocker installed (bug reported here: http://rentzsch.lighthouseapp.com/p...utube-videos-sometimes-automatically-download). I expect a future update to one or both should solve your problem; that is, if you do have both apps.

Good answer. I was thinking it was somwhere along the lines of click to flash...
