Do you have any suggestions as to why Fireflox does not recognise these flash and movie files, they work fine on Safari and internet explorer I have tried everything and getting very frustrated would really appreciate any help

It is not anything to do with plugins as far as I can see as apple tested it and had the same problem as did my PC with firefox.

[e-mail] (Jenny), how is this data loss? Data loss is bookmarks/e-mails etc are lost. If i'm not mistaken this is a site that is not displayed correctly. 

Removing DATALOSS keyword, and lowering severity to Major (major loss of function). 

Also, i think this is a dupe of bug 405903, which is a bug specific to Firefox 2.0.0.9 and 2.0.0.11 and the trunk in combination with pages made with iWeb 2.x. 

Can you report what version of firefox you are using. The URL provided indicates that you indeed used iWeb 2.x. Also, your report mentions Flash, but i cannot see any embedded Flash in your pages.

For now i'm closing this as a dupe bug 405903. If you disagree, please report back as to why.
