None of our packaged web browsers support SWF directly. It is implemented by GNU Shockwave Flash player (browser-plugin-gnash) or Adobe Flash Player (downloaded by flashplugin-nonfree).

That won't protect you from sites that exploit bugs in the browser's image decoders or Javascript libraries. Ben. -- Ben Hutchings Sturgeon's Law: Ninety percent of everything is crap.
