I haven't seen your particular problem with Flash 5, so I have no suggestions here.
However, I have gone to a couple sites where Flash content (presumably Flash 6,
now gaining traction in the Windoze world) either locked up NS 4.61 repeatedly,
or, in one case, actually crashed Warp 4 ! It was likely not Flash alone that was
responsible, though. Running Mozilla 1.2 + eCS + Flash 5 failed to load the site
properly (I can't recall the exact error), but avoided the more harmful results.
NS 4.79 under W2K + Flash 5 just balked at running the Flash section, returning
a simple error message informing me that I needed to obtain Flash 6. (This is ideally
how it should work in OS/2, but doesn't.) The issue was resolved after I installed
Flash 6.

I'm not sure that the OS/2 version ever had all the capabilities of the Win-32 one.

Just f.y.i., I had an email exchange with Innotek, and they told me that whether or
not there will be a Flash 6 for OS/2 depends on licensing arrangements, still to be
seen.
