Flash also works fine under Mozilla 1.0. All you have to do is download the required files (Mozilla has a link somewhere - press the Mozilla spinner thing on your browser) and copy the plugin into the right location. GNOME, Sawfish, and Ximian (which isn't a 'thing', more a group of people) aren't anything to do with it. The only things I can't get working are Java applets, but I've not really been trying that hard. Adobe's PDF plugin seems to work well though. If you don't know, typing "about:plugins" into your Mozilla addressbar will tell you what plugins are loaded, and if you run Mozilla from a command prompt (XTerm, Gnome terminal, etc) you might see some errors that could help pinpoint any problems you're having. -- I am dyslexic of Borg.
