hi, 

here with ff3.0b3pre this happens only if you clicked once into the flash element. Thats a bit annoying, but understandable: The flash is like a seperate program within ff, wich results in a different set of keybindings. If you click once outside the flash movie, ff gets back control.

No, fibby.

Scrolling does not work even if I never focused the flash element.

I have even tried this with setting "click-to-focus" mode of the window manager. But it does not work either.
