It displays error messages in a new dialog when an error occurs (otherwise
it'd just ignore them blindly), connects to external tools for debugging
(tracing and things like that), and provides additional methods (like
System.gc()).
It's also a very small bit slower than the normal player.

What does the Flash Debug Player do exactly?
Does it affect your browsing experience when you are not trying to
debug anything?
Mainly, it allows you to output trace statements in conjunction with
something like Flash Tracer (I think that's the name), or use a debugger
like Monster Debugger
What does the Flash Debug Player do exactly?
It captures debug information that would normally not be captured, and
shows you raw error messages instead of silently swallowing them.

In general, no. However,
Thanks everyone!
I'll try it and see what I get.

Hi,
Slightly OT, but this might be useful / helpful for some people:
You can also use a 3rd party program like Kewbee Plugin Switcher
that will allow you to switch Flash Player versions without uninstalling
every time. It will require a browser restart, but with Firefox's
restore
Nice to know... Thanks!

Monster is not using the real debugging protocol, so that does not count.

That's a bit harsh, isn't it? True, it doesn't let you set break points
and step through code, but it lets you see the state of your program at
any particular point. It has other limitation, like

It's not a true debugger in the sense that you and I mean, but it is a
valuable debugging tool. That does count.

Ah, I see what you're saying. I used Monster Debugger only briefly (I use
a _lot_ of private variables and functions, so it was of little use to
me). I didn't remember its not needing the debug
I concede your point :-)
This says a lot about a person I think. Being able to admit you were
wrong is a very good personality trait. Too often on these lists, and
in life, people debate until they are red in the face, even when as the
debate progresses and deep down they realize they are wrong
