firefox + flash

[Peter Hessler]

There is a free flash implementation being worked on: 
 http://www.gnu.org/software/gnash/

OpenBSD has a port of it in -current (after 4.0).  It /kinda/ works, 
and is in active development.  Hopefully it'll be good enough for 
StrongBad Email and Google Video by the time 4.1 is released.
