Yes, i suspect it is firefox only - although there might be a Mozilla
version, don't know...

You get a shiny grey arrow icon for each flash instance, which you click if
you dare ;-) I almost never click though. My opinion of sites that use
flash is unprintable....

Pity really, as some flash is worth seeing - but I wish sites would use
something else to achieve the result. I tried compiling "gnash" - but all
I could produce was blankness, although it installed fine. I'd be
interested to hear from anyone who gets Gnash working .
