Hi Chris,
On your firefox browser look in
about:plugins (where you type the url's) and see what version of the plugin
you have. I had problems when Adobe had just released the version 9 plugin
but it got better when a later version of 9 appeared. The latest version is
9.0 r31 and you can get it here
http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash&P2_Platform=Linux&P3_Browser_Version=Netscape4
If that still doesn't work, I can send you a copy of libflashplayer.so,
version 7 which I've kept.
Cheers,
Jonathan
