I feel your pain. 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.
