Which plugin is recommended?  Adobe doesn't support it anymore, and the
last time I tried gnash, it didn't work acceptably well.  Lightspark
says it's experimental.

Why can't we just use mplayer to watch videos?  It plays them just fine
when downloaded with flashgot, and I don't want or need videos inside
the browser, it's a very awkward thing to have.  With mplayer, I have
key bindings I can use which I otherwise don't have.

Well, I've purged chromium because it's too slow.  It takes a second or
two to open a new tab even when only 4 or so are already open and
something like that before that to display the contents of its window
when I move to the desktop it's on.  Perhaps it'll take like 2 minutes
once 60 tabs are open?  Seamonkey doesn't have these problems.
