I have posted the problems to the list and there was no answer.
So to recap.
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.0.14)
Gecko/2009090216 Ubuntu/8.04 (hardy) Firefox/3.0.14

Running the current 64 bit flash.
To get to the web site that does not work with Ubuntu FF go facebook
then go to Texas Hold'em Poker and then click change server on the top
right, a list of servers should pop up. It does not on my system or my
brothers system (9.04 64 bit fresh install) .
