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.

This Firefox / Flash problem has me curious.
I've never had a problem with flash in firefox, except for being not
easy to install.
But that's a security issue I believe.
But once up and running I have never had difficulties you write about.
I've had to install the combination probably 30 times over the past few
years on several computers.
I have used F3 right through to F12 on fairly standard clones.
