I appears the root cause of this problem would be Firefox, not Flash or nvidia-drivers, and I once again have a solution for watching Flash-based media, at least for the short term. My thinking at this point is that Google is going to drive a solution that keeps YouTube users happy. I doubt long-term they'll let Adobe, a much smaller company, control their future... :-) Cheers, Mark
