Please file bugs using Camino, not Firefox. Failing that, you need to provide the version of Camino you are using.

Since the game appears to be Flash, the version of Flash you have installed would also be useful to know.

Camino 2.0.9 & 2.1
Flash player : 11.0.1.152 installed

::sigh::
That seems another case where events (drag and drop) are not send correctly inside Flash 11.0.1.152. And unfortunately, the freshly released 11.1.102.55 doesn't fix the issue.

I had filed an Adobe bug for this (and added a note about the site listed above):

Morphing this to cover what it is about: some mouse events (click + drag, drag & drop, …) fail in Flash 11.1.x.

Users in the forums report that problems to pan around in Street View on Google maps by dragging with the mouse. Clicking on the arrow does seem to work, though.

Adobe has closed that bug report, stating that Camino is not on the supported list (min. requirement for Flash 11.x: Firefox 4+).

Given that, and the fact we changed the detection in bug 711872 to stick to 10.3 due to changing Adobe version requirements, I think this is a WONTFIX (CANTFIX).

It *should* be possible to install Flash 10.3 in the "Internet Plug-Ins" folder in the Camino profile to use 10.3.x with Camino and 11.x with other browsers, though I don't think anyone has tested that to confirm.  But IIRC it works with the Schubert plug-in, so I think that folder always takes priority.

I'll test early next week or so. IIRC when I tested with Shockwave (which has separated 32bit and 64bit plugins), Camino didn't acknowledge the presence of the plugin in ~/Library/Application Support/Camino/Internet Plugins).

I've tested and let it run for a couple of days: having Flash 10.3.x installed in ~/Library/Application Support/Camino/Internet Plugins and Flash 11.latest in the default location (/Library/Internet Plugins) works correctly. Camino uses Flash 10.3.x, data is written to ~/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/Flash/*.
