Default Browsers & Flash

For what it's worth, I've experimented with both Firefox and IE, both with the latest Flash release.

IE seems to work the best. None of that "Already Done" stuff and others coming in taking the points/coin from fields you already completed.

Firefox exhibited all the really nasty problems people are reporting here. To me it is obvious that the Firefox with the lates Flash suffers from major memory leak problems (when will Adobe programmers learn to close files when they are no longer needed?). After working one or two large/complex farms, Firefox will come to a stop. Its memory and CPU usage is through the roof. You have to close it out and restart it at that point.

Of course, FT still has the server timeout and disconnect problems worse than ever. This is where you lose points and coin. You think you are doing the work, but since you got disconnected somewhere along the way, you get short changed. That's the same for either browser.

I feel sorry for the Devs trying to build a fairly complex game using Adobe Flash as the platform. Adobe (IMHO) has always turned out sloppy, unstable code.
