Hello wendyw, the new Flashplayer (13.0.0.182) on mac is the problem indeed, Adobe is promoting a downgrade to Flash 12, see analytical info in John99's reply , see also why Adobe is promoting a downgrade to Flash 12 instead of the more secure Flash 11.7 ESR on MAC with SAFARI in AliceWyman's post.


thank you
