continued Flash irritation

Yay. There's a new version of Flash. Boo, it hangs when I take Mozilla to http://www.doonesbury.com/strip/dailydose/ and click on "previous date". So much for progress. Even the old version didn't do this once I'd allowed it (or Mozilla, I don't know which) to invoke esd despite the fact that I tend to use a perfectly good artsd for my audio serving pleasure.
