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! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
