My favourite news site offers asmall array of games. Small flash affairs where you can enter a car race, dribble a football through all kinds of obstacles, or play Mah-jongg solitaire.
Now sometimes, in Firefox, a game will refuse to load. The page will be there, but instead of the game you just see a grey bar (which usually, if the game loads, is a grey rectangle on which the flash application is presented). The page information box lists the flash application, but ingrey as "not loaded".
The weird thing is, the error carries through multiple shutdowns, cookie/cache deletions and even deletions of those "flash cookies" (I installed BetterPrivaxy for the purpose): Under my laptop login, FF won't display Mah-jongg and the car race, under my wife's, we have to do without Untangle the Parking Lot. Over in Aachen, the advent calender wouldn't load, and so on.
Things work smoothly under IE.
Is that weird or what?
