I took a little while to realize when using amazon.com my "Add to Shopping Cart" button was missing because of AdBlock. I have since gotten AdBlock Plus which allows whitelisting. There's also a more accurate filterset (Filterset.G) out there that does a better job of detecting ads (and only ads), and gets updated to fix these things.</p> As Kevin mentioned, AdBlock has issues.

Even with no flash objects in the block list, it will regularly cause flash to malfunction. As soon as you disable it, they work fine.</p> To be fair, AdBlock really does seem to have issues with messing up many things that are not actually ads.
