    I had a long time that when something said see this flash show I 
would go to it and Firefox would put up a panel saying I needed a flash 
driver. It gave me a choice of which one but the actual getting of a 
flash driver failed 100% of the time. This is on Hardy 8.04 and a week 
or two ago I got a few updates of flash drivers. These worked and now I 
can listen and view any flash site with my Firefox.

    If anyone needs a good flash driver I can send you mine.
