I had no idea you could download firefox from adobe. I use the firefox
from the Ubuntu repository and can see the transparency just fine. I
notice you're using ubuntu 8.04 - could it be that the version of
flash that shipped with 8.04 is different from what ships with 8.10,
which is what I use?

In any case, I suspect the problem is with the version of flash used
by the "bad" browser.
