I'm having problems viewing sites with Shockwave Flash graphics using Mozilla 1.0 running on a Debian Woody base. I've downloaded the latest Linux version for the Macromedia site and installed it in ~$HOME/.mozilla/plugins but Mozilla just locks up when I try and load a .swf file.
From what I've read it seems that this is a known problem. Before I move over to another browser, is anyone aware of any solutions
or workarounds for this?

IIRC correctly there is a debian package for playing shockwave files, try apt-cache search shockwave. Of course it may not be in Woody so you may have to look at getting a couple of bits from testing.
