Linux problems with Flash in Firefox

[Hugh Caley]

As I said, Roger, not everyone has this problem.  I have had this same 
problem on this particular hardware combination from at least FC7 
onwards.  I'm guessing it may be a problem with interaction with the 
proprietary nvidia driver and Firefox?  I have a 6200 nvidia card.  I 
also had the same issue with FC11 on an IBM/Lenovo laptop I had; I think 
that machine had integrated Intel video.  My brother in law has a box 
running FC10 with an ATi 7500 and he DOESN'T have this problem at all.
