Maybe because flash makes (many) sites slow and clunky?
Sorry. Couldn't resist.

Truthfully the Firefox packages (on debian sarge, and now k/ubuntu) felt 
slow for me too. Not with flash, just in general, so I tried the mozilla 
binary, and it works great.
I went to a site that's entirely flash, and it wasn't slow. Of course, 
you can't update via apt, but hey...
