I just installed swiftfox and got the same results.  These types of 
Flash pages have never displayed right since I started using Ubuntu at 
version 5.04.  The flash display comes in over top of other elements on 
the page, rendering them inaccessible. But they display right on FF on 
Windows.  I thought if the display right in FF on windows FF should 
display them right on Linux.  I was hoping someone would point out a 
preference setting or other mysterious config magic to fix it.  Oh, 
well. :-(
