A present for you all... GPL Flash Plugin!

[Cian Duffy]

Worked without restarting Mozilla if I placed it into
/usr/lib/mozilla-1.7.3/plugins, didn't need to set permissions either

But it crashed out a few seconds into a Flash file. 

This isn't the only OSS Flash plugin for Mozilla I thought - theres
the GStreamer based one as well, right? It might or might not work
better.
