[Discuss] [Fwd: Flash :-(]

[John Abreau]

I believe recent versions of firefox and chrome have deprecated flash entirely.

Perhaps running an older version of firefox or chrome would be a
reasonable workaround.

Or an older version of seamonkey, so both browsers can be run on the
same box at the same time.
