oops!  had to apt-getremove --purge firefox to get that back, but now
all is working swimmingly.  I'm not sure though that the problem was
solely related to the flash plugin -- I don't think there'[s any flash
content on the gmail login page (could be wrong about that though).  

In any case it works grand now, thanks!
Is there any reason this line shouldn't be included in firefoxrc by
default?
