Using Adobe Flash Player 10.0.45.2 there is no delay or jams. I still must use Firefox 3.5.2.dmg to get any Flash plug-in to work on the Washington Post site.

	That's really "cut the wrong thing and paste without checking."

	'install_flash_player_osx_ub.dmg' is the correct article.

	I ran the 'Adobe Flash Player Uninstaller.app' and crossed my fingers.

	In any event, Firefox-3.5.2 with Adobe Flash Player 10.0.45.2 as the 
plug-in seems to run OK. That's on Mac OS 10.6.4 (10F569), Kernel 
Version Darwin 10.4.0, so I'm no longer suspicious of the Apple core 
updates for this box. It's between Adobe and Mozilla; my money is on 
Mozilla as the culprit; it's not the first time they've screwed up on 
stuff graphical.

	Aren't they bragging about their native video capability?

  	Shalom,
