</div>Ummm...<br>
Nothing to do with Flash or Firefox:<br>
<br>
I can view the presentation with flash turned completely off using both<br>
SeaMonkey (from a home folder) or Firefox (both Ubuntu version &<br>
Standard Firefox from a home folder).<br>
<br>
Standard Firefox (from a home folder)<br>
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.2.8) Gecko/20100722<br>
Firefox/3.6.8<br>
<br>
Ubuntu Firefox<br>
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.2.8) Gecko/20100723<br>
Ubuntu/10.04 (lucid) Firefox/3.6.8<br>
<br>
SeaMonkey (from a home folder)<br>
Build identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.1.11)<br>
Gecko/20100701 Lightning/1.0b1 SeaMonkey/2.0.6<br>
<br>
Now, you may have to install the appropriate codecs/plugins to hear the<br>
sound:<br>
<br>
Choose Media Format<br>
Real Media Audio (16k)<br>
Windows Media Audio (16k)<br>
<br>
This is your problem:<br>
<div class="im">nat@nat-desktop:~/Firefox$ firefox<br>
</div>that will try to run your Ubuntu firefox (which is apparently borked a<br>
this time).<br>
<br>
To run Firefox from:<br>
nat@nat-desktop:~/Firefox$<br>
<br>
$ cd ~/Firefox<br>
$ ./firefox<br>
<br>
To test to see if it is a profile issue:<br>
<br>
$ ./firefox -P<br>
and create a new test profile & try from there.<br>
