Yes, I think you'll find that Flash is the culprit. Simply find the
page running Flash (on my system, the cursor turns into a hand with a
cuff and the right mouse button brings up a Flash context menu), and
remove it.
Since Flash is used for gratuitous, annoying animation most of the
time, you can remove the flashplugin-nonfree package. Or, just in case
someone sends you a cool JibJab video, you can turn off Flash
temporarily with the following command:
# mv /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/libflashplayer.so \
/usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/libflashplayer.so-
