Have noticed that when viewed in Firefox 3.6 some SWF files seem to mysteriously resize themselves or show a focus border when clicked on. At first I could not figure out what was happening when my fullscreen 100%x100% SWF suddenly forced scrollbars to appear in the browser once it received focus. It turned out that this is due to the fact that Firefox 3.6 now draws a 1 pixel 'focus' border around the Flash content which is very annoying. The same happens on Java Applets too.
Luckily there is a fairly easy solution to this, and itinvoves a bit of CSS. Simply add this to your page's stylesheet:

a:focus, object:focus { outline: none; -moz-outline-style: none; }
Problem solved.
overflow:hidden;
... Sigh...
Off I go to add to several hundred style sheets.
Maybe not... Maybe instead, if enough folks go to 'moz' and rant instead, they'll sort this out next iteration and make it happen quickly.
I'm fed up revising javascripts or stylesheets when new browsers/versions are released.
I'm tired of my inbox bulging with reports from clients complaining they have site visitors sending them reports that flash movies acting strange at their site. And that I'd better go fix it and better not charge them for it because I should have created it better and it shouldn't be broken.
ARG!
Geez... That felt good! I haven't had a good tantrum in ages. Thanks for bearing with me.
