Dude! Doesn't tell me much of anything: 1) I don't use facebook, but it
could very well be an add-on (turn them all of & test), browser sniffing
[1], java, or javascript issue, etc., 2) wine Fx is using standard
mozilla Fx, you are most likely using the Ubuntu'ized Fx - have you
tried with standard mozilla FX?, 3) have you verified that the dropdown
box is actually using Flash (easy to determine - turn flash off &
check). Which version of FX are you using in Wine? Which version are you
using in Ubuntu? Are they the same?

Have you *actually* asked on any of the facebook/application/flash
forums to see if others are experiencing the problem as well?

After all that, if you still think it is an Ubuntu problem then file a
bug, or at least search the bug list to see if someone else has already.

Here let me help you:
