Win7x64 Sp1 FF 13.0.1 I tried deleting the cache and cookies and then updating to 13.0.1 nothing seems to have worked. Somewhere along the line I got a message that xw_control.xml was missing, but I think this is bogus because chrome seems to work.

You can check for problems caused by a recent Flash 11.3 update and possibly downgrade to Flash 11.2 or 10.3.

I downgraded to 10.2.... that seems to have fixed the crossword problem. What's smaller than a nit? FF is bitching at me because some of the plugins are outdated.
