Default Slow Flash playback in Firefox vs IE

So I am playing a game at work, and it needs to be run in Firefox cause I dont have admin level access to install Flash 8 for IE. ANYWAY, When I am playing the game, it is MUCH slower than the IE version.

Any ideas?

Yeah - work, don't play

No, sorry, don't know... Maybe something to do with the specs of the PC??

I dunno dude, it could be some of the internal security checks of the PC (if they're that advanced). Or it could be something with the version/extensions, etc. of Firefox that is installed. It worked fine for me, got a little over 27000 points, yay! That truck really is funky

That games great, 127000 so far.

Do you have the latest version of firefox, because in the old versions, i had the exact same problem. I ended up using firefox for anything that had flash on their site because firefox was so slow
