All five played fine in Google Chrome.  The last three played fine in 
Iceweasel.  The first two had a large blank space at the top in Iceweasel, 
but otherwise played fine.

I have flashplugin-nonfree installed, not gnash, which I have found 
unsatisfactory.

Some of it did take a while to download.

Had you thought of actually installing Iceweasel from the repositories?  You 
might find it worked better, as well as updating better.
