Current from their website.

A few. BTW this has also been posted by me in this tread with all the
gory detail. Are you reading the thread?

Sadly no but I have tried the version that are available.

Both FF where running the same version of number of Flash.

Problem is reported on FB but they don't care because it is a
secondary company that runs the game. That company basically said to
switch to MS, if we wanted help because they don't support Linux.
Rather lame but common answer.

If you want to help you why don't you try reproducing the problem or
offering a solution or as a minimum at least going to the web site so
you have some clue what you are talking about?? Normally, you have
some good advice but you seem to be clouded here.

As stated before; I have tested with Ubuntu Firefox from 8.04 and 9.04
and Swiftfox both 64 and 32 bit. I have not tried the raw one but that
is an interesting idea. The problem has been seen on multiple Ubuntu
based system both 32 bit and 64 bit and with multiple types of the
flash plug in as reported by multiple people here on this list and at
least one on just this tread. I don't have java installed and get no
requests for java so I am betting that is not it as I am sure you
would know, if you had gone to the web site.

File a bug report? With whom? I would think a report would be good, IF
I had a handle on what was causing the problem and thus who to report
it to.

Leonard Chatagnier, posted an eloquent description of the exact
problem. Can you you be helpful and reproduce it or does it perchance
work on your system?

I turned on spooking to IE 7 Windows Vista and the problem is the same.

My best guess, Flash plug in problem
