An answer to this question and an apology for missing the question the first time. Neither. I use good old Fvwm, but actually launch MS Firefox from the Rox filer. I was surprised at how easy this was to set up. I don't say it is right or clever, but it does work, and I'm not so very interested in Flash that I want to spend ages fiddling to make it work in the other ways that have been suggested. I'm getting older so like to pick my fights with care! atb Glyn
