Macromedia has posted Flash Player 6.0r2, a new version of its browser plugin for OS X browsers. It requires the Mac OS X 10.1 or higher and Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.1 (version 3408) or Netscape 6.2 or later.

Just wanted to report that this version of the Flash plug-in also seems to work fine with the latest Mozilla X builds.
Current "milestone" release is 0.98. Nightly builds available at:
ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/nightly/latest/
The lastest builds are behaving more and more like Carbon apps, including sheets and an Aqua interface.
Mozilla? B L O A T W A R E, absurdly large footprint and it is unintuitive. Easily the LEAST Mac-like of all browsers.
Use a nice trim browser, the Mac-ONLY iCab or OmniWeb browsers.
iCab also happens to be the fastest browser for OS X. OmniWeb happens to be the most attractive-rendering. At this point in the game, this is not a matter of opinion.
whatever...Mozilla ROCKS MY WORLD!
I sincerely encourage all of you to not listen to that loser and try Mozilla for yourself.
Its amazing. its fast. you'll love it. Also try the Mach-O builds!
I like Mozilla for it's core, but I am not too fond of it's GUI.. It's a great standards based browser and does what it says it does, and it has a great future, but I think the Mac IE GUI looks much nicer and is faster in every way.
I still use IE in X because I need Java access, something that no other browsers seem to be able to provide (outside of JavaScript, but there's a difference).
Chimera is the cocoa version of Mozilla. It's currently at version 0.11 and lots of things still don't work, but it is blazingly fast when displaying regular web pages. It definitely has tremendous potential.
So does anyone know what's changed in this release -- which bugs have been addressed?

What issues were you having with Flash Player 5? Maybe I can shed some light.
I haven't had a chance to really play with it but it still appears to play much slower than the PC version. This has always been a problem with the Flash plug-in, I always assumed it was related to OS 9 but now I have to wonder what the problem is.
Why can't Flash play as fast on a mac as it does on PCs?

or iCab or OmniWeb (i use those browsers, and they certainly play flash content found on websites)
