[QUOTE="Tharivious, post: 3365843, member: 28105"] That's actually one of the smaller Firefox/Flash interaction issues I've discovered. On my computer, it also has the tendancy of draining system resources to zero when running certain complex Flash objects (FlashChat being one of them, the web-game Dragonfable being another), which is visually displayed by altering the font face of all text (including that of the browser itself) to bold-face System font. Once that happens, it requires restarting the browser to undo... and if it triggers with another program open (say, MSN), the effects can spread into those windows as well (disrupting backgrounds, whiting-out text, causing display pictures to appear as television-esque static, etc...). Nasty glitch. And it was happening to me simply for moving from the Lounge to the Tavern. If that continues long enough, it has somehow managed to cause Explorer to error out... from Firefox, with the only Explorer program open being MSN Messenger itself. This is another problem that I've learned doesn't follow over to Internet Explorer due to hunting around the website of the other Flash object that caused the same issue. From what I gather, Flash programming languages are just more stable in IE, or more optimized, or something. I'm no programmer, but it seems to hold true in my experience. [/QUOTE]
