Rich: No sooner had I sent my email when I encountered some content on youtube that could not play with HTML5, but required flash. I installed flash 11.2.202.243. So far, it seems to work and not crash Firefox or anything. I think I'll change the name of my libflashplayer.so to something like libflashplayer.sucks to hide it and use HTML5 as much as possible in case any of the content sites are keeping track of how much the HTML5 method is used VS Adobe Flash. If I want to see something that HTML5 cannot play, I'll just temporarily move libflashplayer.so back. Wayne
