Camino 1.0 (and Safari) is available as Universal Binary. It might work better with Flash on an Intel base Mac than Firefox where the browser and therefore the plug-in need to run in Rosetta emulation.

I'm running firefox (actually, the ported deerpark version) on my new intel imac and anytime a website contains any flash content, the browser barfs - it gives me the puzzle piece and tells me it has no idea what plugin I'm missing.

I've got the flash plugin installed, but I'm guessing that since deerpark is a universal binary but the flash player isn't, they won't play nice together?

thoughts?

I don't know what's wrong with this post... for a while it wouldn't let me reply and now it won't show the original message.

the browser doesn't crash, rather it just acts like the plugin isn't installed.
