I think this was down to a dodgy version of the flash player, which
was causing the Qt browser widget to break on any page that had flash.
 I fixed this locally by downgrading to an older version of flash.  I
believe Qt and mythTV have been updated to fix the issue.

There are previous posts on the mailing list and Google relating to this.
