Looks to be a pathing issue. My firebug debugger in FF3.5 on a Mac shows a black embedded SWF. However, the SWF seems to be looking for a file called:
http://precision.thenetforward.com/banner_home.xml Not sure if that's where it's supposed to be, or if you are supposed to pass that in as a parameter, but perhaps that's your issue? That said, I have no idea why it would work in Safari. My Safari version 3.x without Flash installed (was testing something so I happened to have it uninstalled) shows the alternate content "Get Adobe Flash Player", so that part is working fine. After installing Flash on my copy of Safari it does work well, so perhaps as Sam Sherlock suggests you are using absolute paths instead of relative. Although to be honest, I don't know the specifics of how Safari interprets things vs. FF. But that is definitely the issue. The SWF itself is actually gettting embedded just fine.
