So -- the wierd thing is, that in F8, the Adobe Flash player works for
all<br>
swf files within the browser, even though it says: "Shockwave Flash",<br>
but in F9, even though it says "Adobe Flash movie", it resorts to using<br>
swfdec 0.6.0. !<br>
<br>
I have no clue why Firefox v3.0 does not seem to recognize adobe flash<br>
and I have tried several times to reset the application within FF 3.0 to<br>
no avail.<br>
