Before nonfree-flash, it was java; before java, it was acroread; before acroread, it was navigator; before navigator, I don't know, but I expect there was something. I think this argument has even less weight today than ever before. nonfree-flash mainly continues to be such a problem because of bad webmasters (usually under strong instruction from site owners) failing to use the type attribute correctly and/or using javascripts that only recognise the Adobe plugin. Well, that, and that we can't persuade firefox to help fix free flash by always offering it as a preferred alternative to nonfree-flash.
