swfobject 2.1 Issue in FireFox 3 on Mac

I embedded my swf (XML-powered AS3 slideshow) using swfobject 2.1 and it looks fine in IE7/FF3/Safari/Opera 9 on Windows and Safari/Opera 9 on Mac. FireFox 3 on Mac displays the first image correctly but does not display the thumbnails or the prev/next buttons on the bottom. But if I navigate to another page and click Back, it works fine. This seems to be a bug with FF3 on Mac. Anyone else encounter this or have a workaround?

You can take a look at it here:

And here is my HTML code:

Code:

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">

<title>Image Gallery</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" />
		<script type="text/javascript" src="swfobject.js"></script>
		<script type="text/javascript">
			var flashvars = {};
			flashvars.xmlPath = "xml/images.xml";
			var params = {};
			params.menu = "false";
			var attributes = {};
			swfobject.embedSWF("gallery.swf", "flashDiv", "750", "550", "9.0.0", "expressInstall.swf", flashvars, params, attributes);
		</script>
<style type="text/css">
<!--

	    </a>        </p>
	</div>
</body>
</html>

I have searched everywhere and can't find a solution.
Only in FF3 3.0.3 on Mac 10.5.5

The only difrence I have seen in mine is that it loads correct the first time but when you navigate back to the home page it breaks. On a slow dsl connection it seems to work fine all the time.

Any one have advice?

Sorry I forgot to update everyone. I re-installed FF and it works fine now. Very strange.
