After upgrade, iHeart Radio (on the web) no longer plays

I used to listen to a radio station (KNRS) online that uses iHeartRadio (www.iheartradio.com) for online radio. After upgrading to 11.10, it no longer works. In fact, I have to "force quit" to get out of it. I can't check what format the service uses, as it freezes before I can do anything on the site. However, it does work with Chromium.

I can listen to other stations that use different services (such as WLS-AM). Flash, Banshee, VLC, etc., all work just fine, as far as I can tell.

This is the same on two computers: my desktop, and my laptop. Has anyone else experienced this? Any ideas or suggestions?

I recently installed the Flash-Aid plugin for Netscape, and had it get and install the latest 64-bit Flash. I accepted all defaults during the process. After doing so, I tried the radio station again and chose to listen live - and it worked just fine. I think the Flash version that Flash-Aid intalled was a beta version, and evidently this is exactly what I needed. (And so far, I haven't noticed anything that hasn't worked with it.) Great! Now I don't have to run Netscape and Chromium at the same time!
