We have seen the same issue with debian testing and firefox on the
CA distro with the westnet home page as an example.

Many other people have said "Works for me" so I'd be interested in
figuring this out too. It may be the flash plug-in. What version are
you using Steve ? 

We have:
libflashplayer.so
Shockwave Flash 6.0 r81

Does anyone have this version working correctly ?

All the best
Harry
