Another reason the flash has to go that I haven't read yet: On more than one occasion, while going to
www.theezreader.com, after clicking on the f/arrow (I use Flashblock for Firefox), while the page is loading it goes into a sort of random, shaking or vibrating mode (the website, not the whole monitor). The only way out is to X out (File->Quit doesn't work). This also means I've lost any and all cookies I've accumulated this session (I have Firefox delete all cookies after closing).
If it makes any difference, this is under Firefox for Linux.
