xenomex, I have seen this too, but it has gone away. Either SP1 or new flash player or new ATI drivers -- something fixed it on my system. It's a known problem with a solution here:

To summarize:
* Seems to be a problem with Vista & Firefox flash plug-in & ATI Catalyst 8.x
* Disable "hardware acceleration" in the adobe flash player display tab to get it working
* May need to change bit depth to 16-bit if hardware acceleration is greyed out
* May work in IE7 even if it doesn't work in Firefox

Now there are several ways that your "friend" can get his fix of Marina Orlova in fullscreen while also increasing his vocabulary!
