All five played fine in Google Chrome. The last three played fine in Iceweasel. The first two had a large blank space at the top in Iceweasel, but otherwise played fine. I have flashplugin-nonfree installed, not gnash, which I have found unsatisfactory. Some of it did take a while to download. Had you thought of actually installing Iceweasel from the repositories? You might find it worked better, as well as updating better. Lisi
