That's strange, but I have to admit that I also had problems
getting "Flash" work in Firefox once. That's why I tried Opera
and it worked immediately. Could you, just for reference, try
that browser according to the instructions in the Handbook?
If it works, make Opera your "'Flash' browser" and let Firefox
be your "normal browser" for fast, unpolluted and secure web
access.
