Nasser, Now that I removed the CDF Player/Plug-in from my browsers I can load and replay multiple Demonstrations OK (just got 8 running in Safari in individual tabs). However it is annoying that the Demonstration is partially obscured by an admonition to get the Free Wolfram CDF player and Interact Now! In an update to a related thread: Re: CDF browser plugin and Wolfram library archive - Saving Demonstrations Source Notebooks Where I had written about Heike Gramberg's solution: "Thanks very much Heike! The programmatic solution works beautifully. > SetOptions[SelectedNotebook[], Saveable -> True]" There is an interesting problem that if you save a downloaded Demonstrations Source File named: Orbits of Martin's Map-source as Orbits of Martin's Map then OSX thinks the name of the saved notebook is "Orbits of Martin's Map" whilst the Mathematica 8 still displays the notebook name "Orbits of Martin's Map-source". This bizarre behavior is at best a poor feature if not a bug. Cutting and pasting the body of the notebook to a new notebook is the only workaround I have found to get rid of the "-source" notebook name. Clearly the Demonstrations site needs some additional work. Cheers ....
