I would like it to automatically ping Adobe looking for the Flash player that is not available. When I'm particularly irritated with some site that demands Flash, I follow the link to Adobe's site where they "don't have a plugin for my platform" and refresh 10-20 times to sprinkle some love in their web server logs. FF automating that for me would be great! Jim
