I use the Seamonkey variant of Firefox. It has a more "classic" GUI interface, and a few other differences. It also has an option in the settings... Edit ==> Preferences ==> Advanced ==> Scripts & Plugins You can choose whether or not to "Activate all plugins by default". ***THIS IS NOT AN ADDON*** like Flashblock, so you don't have to worry about the author keeping up with the current version of the browser. It is a built-in setting. If you turn that option off, you get a box that says "Activate Adobe Flash" on any page with Flash on it. You can click on the box, and that activates only the one instance. If there are several flash boxes on a page, you can click on just the one(s) you want. -- Walter Dnes <waltd...@waltdnes.org> I don't run "desktop environments"; I run useful applications
