I like to play fantasy football on espn, and I have not had any problems 
with it until this morning.

I am not sure if the problem is java or flash but I cannot access the 
player draft on espn fantasy football All I get is a white screen that 
comes up where the player draft info should be. They also have a lite 
version for people who do not have flash, and that come up with a form 
but no data on the form and I cannot select any item on the form.  
Youtube works fine.
They have a compatibility test and if I run the test it passes without 
problem.
Here is what I have installed for java and flash:

jerry at jerry-desktop:~ $ java -version
java version "1.6.0_14"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_14-b08)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 14.0-b16, mixed mode, sharing)

Under firefox > Tools > Addons> Java Console 6.0 is enabled. I disabled 
it, restarted firefox, and then enabled it, and restarted firefox again.

I installed the adept notifier updates yesterday and had no problem with 
espn after that yesterday. I did install the update today (tzdata) but 
had the problem with espn before and after that last update this morning.

Here is a link to the site for the mock draft.

I would appreciate any help.
