Those longish URIs are usually for tracking the user so they contain extra (and non-useful) variables that can be cut without compassion. > > The above URI loads fine here (Lenny+firefox 12). > > Works fine on this Foxconn desktop, Dalton, also.

Running testing is not a guaratee for having the latest versions of the programs, you have to check by your own, for instance, Wheezy has Icewasel 10.0 while Firefox is now 12 (so you can still test with Firefox 12 -download and run- and see what happens) and the same can happen with the flash player plugin, you can verify what version are you running from here: http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ Should a new version is available, you can get it from Adobe.
