Firefox has a plugin for flash, if you visit a site that uses
Flash you will get prompted to add flash, or Java for example. I have never installed
the flash plugin, and don't
miss it, but my sister likes to use the Yahoo Game site,
and the flash and Java plugins are needed to make the
online games work. Active X is why 10 million Hijackthis
logs are posted on the internet because of IE. If you use
Microsoft update site, then just use IE for that visit.
