Need Help re: picture viewing while web browsing (works in IE and Chrome but not Firefox)

There was a picture slideshow presentation on The Washington Post's website that I was unable to view in Firefox but worked in both Internet Explorer and Chrome. Here is the link to the slideshow:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/goingoutguide/40-dishes-every-washingtonian-must-try/2011/12/23/gIQA9KRbOP_gallery.html?fb_ref=NetworkNews

In Firefox, the page comes up for the first slide, with its caption, but there is no picture and the link to advance to the next slide does nothing.

Is it a setting in Firefox options to enable Flash/Java etc. that I need to change? Youtube video viewing works fine in Firefox. Is there a plugin or addon that I need?

Thanks in advance.

and it is busted. I ran it through the debugger and it has errors out the wazoo.

Looks like 9.0.1 broke some backward compatibility.

I had to allow JavaScript on the page, but it worked fine for me.
