And combination (native Mozilla / Seamonkey) + linuxpluginwrapper + linux-flashplugin-7 works for most of such sites I'm visiting (RELENG_6). If you don't want to use it, just don't install it.

That's why I also vote for the commit of this trivial patch. Sincerely, Dmitry -- Atlantis ISP, System Administrator e-mail: dmitry@atlantis.dp.ua nic-hdl: LYNX-RIPE
