Still O/T: It wasn't made up. The word "firefox" is an alternate name for the red panda.

Carry on mate

I'm not sure how things are where you live, but here in the United States, we have products with names like "Kleenex" and "Q-tip" and "Tupperware." These are all made-up names which have nothing to do with computers; it's a matter of branding and marketing, not technology. But, I recognize things may be different in other parts of the world, particularly places where English isn't spoken natively.

What exactly can version 11.5 do, that 11.2 cannot?

Chrome's pepperflash has opengl rendering and hardware decoding via VAVDA/VA-API

Flash 11.2 doesn't have opengl rendering, and only supports hardware decoding with vdpau. Chrome's pepper flash works a lot smoother on my intel machine.

You can enable opengl in FF. https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=148247

I have been doing that for a while with no problem.

That has nothing to do with flash. Google has added opengl rendering and vaapi decoding to their pepper flash, you can't get these in firefox.
