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).Initial adventures in PS3-browser land
I’ve begun doing some work involving the PlayStation 3 web browser. I thought for ages that it used NetFront as it’s browser manufacturer, but it turns out it’s supposedly proprietary and kinda based on Internet Explorer 4 (thanks @jaffathecake for that). I messed around with the Sony PSP browser years ago and found it to […]
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).

Flash indexing with external resource loading
Google have expanded their Flash indexing capabilities by allowing for the indexing of external assets. A lot of Flash applications read in some sort of XML config file, which in turn often loads in additional assets such as images, mp3s, etc. This is a big deal in getting Flash properly indexable, so kudos to Google.
