[Discuss] [RANT] Firefox and Flash 11.2

[Stuart Brorson]

I view this as a feature.  It means that heavily flash-laden web pages
don't bog my machine down with mindless crap videos anymore.  On those
rare occasions when I actually want to see something distributed as
flash, then I can turn it on.  I now have more control over my
computer -- what's not to like about that?
