Couple of Flash Firefox things
Flashbug; debug Flash content within Firefox via Firebug.
Mozilla have also revealed they’re adding safeguards against Flash crashes in future versions of their browser (much like Chrome offer).Flash 10.1 on Google’s Nexus One
Adobe have announced Flash 10.1 for the Nexus One. While it looks okay, I can’t say there’s anything from this early demo which significantly impresses me (either as a developer or web user).
