I have to interject that you're missing out on a real nice feature of 
newer Firefox versions.  They have developed a plugin called "Flashblock." 
When it's installed, every time you browser runs across a page with a 
flash element, in place of a flash animation, you get the Macromedia flash 
symbol.  If you place your cursor over that symbol, it changes to a play 
button, and if you click it, it will play the flash animation.  Otherwise, 
you only see the Macromedia logo.  I couldn't live without it.  I actually 
hate flash, since 99% of the time it's just some obnoxious advertizing. 
But sometimes you need it to even use the site.
