This latest version includes hardware acceleration which is a great idea for stand alone desktops with average to modern graphics cards. It's a rotten idea on a low powered thin client. Right click a Flash animation and you'll get a menu of options. Choose "Settings" near the bottom. In settings, the first pane (the leftmost) has the option for hardware acceleration. By default, it is checked. Uncheck it and restart your browser. If you've tried this version before and reverted to 9.0.48, you'll see the tab for the display pane but won't be able to access the dialogue. And even reverting, you may experience poor performance (it was driving me nuts). Note: some Flash files disable the ability to change settings. If you can't access a menu, go to a different web site, e.g. <A onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="http://adobe.com" target=_blank>adobe.com</A> Hope this helps someone.

We have an app that calls the flash player to display the program thought http and even though it works great on the server, it's performance is terrible on the thin clients. If you can change the settings in firefox will they work universally for that user is the question I guess. And is there a way to make that the default for all users?</DIV> <DIV dir=ltr align=left> </DIV> <DIV dir=ltr align=left>Levi </DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
