What does your firefox about:plugins page say about which flash plugin
is being used?


F8: Firefox v2.0.xxx

Shockwave Flash
File name: nswrapper_32_32.libflashplayer.so
Shockwave Flash 9.0 r124
MIME Type Description Suffixes Enabled
application/x-shockwave-flash Shockwave Flash swf Yes
application/futuresplash FutureSplash Player spl Yes

F9: Firefox v3.0.xxx

Shockwave Flash
File name: nswrapper_32_32.libswfdecmozilla.so
Shockwave Flash 9.0 r100
MIME Type Description Suffixes Enabled
application/x-shockwave-flash Adobe Flash movie swf Yes
application/futuresplash FutureSplash movie spl Yes


So -- the wierd thing is, that in F8, the Adobe Flash player works for all
swf files within the browser, even though it says: "Shockwave Flash",
but in F9, even though it says "Adobe Flash movie", it resorts to using
swfdec 0.6.0. !

I have no clue why Firefox v3.0 does not seem to recognize adobe flash
and I have tried several times to reset the application within FF 3.0 to
no avail.
