I have had less than stellar success with getting a large number of sites to interact correctly with Firefox on FreeBSD when flash was involved, and sometimes even when it wasn't. I have heard that Opera works better but I have no personal knowledge of it. I finally gave up awhile ago. I just use my Windows machine when I absolutely, positively have to get a site working correctly. Life is too short to sweat the small stuff and golf is a lot more fun. -- Jerry ♔ Disclaimer: off-list followups get on-list replies or get ignored.
