The problem is NOT Flash. The problem is sniffing for "Firefox" instead of "Gecko". Actually, the problem is sniffing for a browser instead of making a Web page that complies with the W3C HTML specifications. The Web site is faulty. How do I know this? I tried the page with SeaMonkey 2.0.14 and got the same problem as FDVS. I then terminated SeaMonkey, cleared any cookies related to USAToday, and restarted SeaMonkey. I then used PrefBar to spoof Firefox 3.6.17, and saw the animated graphic. Why does this work with SeaMonkey 2.1b3? SeaMonkey 2.1 (and its beta versions, including 2.1b3) automatically spoof Firefox. -- David E.
