I don't have a "plugins" tab in the Preferences menu. Is this an
extension that has to be installed? (I'm running FireFox 1.0)
I know when I go to a page that complains about a missing plugin, I
can bring up a plugins dialog, but the Macromedia plugin doesn't
automatically install for Debian. In fact, it says it can't even
identify an appropriate plugin for my platform.
Frustratingly, I have somehow enabled flash advertising (on web pages
like http://www.economist.com/ ), which REALLY bogs down this 266 Mhz
PowerBook!
