That having been said, I think the issue is still best handled by Adobe 
support.  If the behavior is different in multiple browsers, yet 
sufficiently similar to each other (option either  does not display, or 
displays but is unusable), it's not likely to be an issue of the browser.

Additionally, the browser only uses the app as a plugin.  There are no 
settings, specific to th flashplayer, that are configurable from within 
the browser's settings...they're all at the Flashplayer level.  Again, 
it's probably best left up to Adobe to determine the issue and address it.

Or maybe it's just me.
