Flash interface issues
This quote is a follow-up to my brief mention of video players running atop HTML5. Someday one such prototype will replace the need for Flash and Silverlight video players, but for now we can accept that these plugins are the best way for the global Internet to consume video content.
This quote seems to put into words some of the usability problems I’ve always felt were inherit for users experiencing Flash content. Flash has its place for creative and web development teams — I’ve seen it used for much more good than evil. But that doesn’t change that its browser presentation has always given me the willies.
“Areas aren’t clickable, context-menus **** up and (the) selection of text, saving of images and all this stuff you expect from a web site is not working…You cannot just set an anchor – you have to code it. This is really important to understand. Flash is a whole new application inside on an application.”

Foxdie
If you’d like to beautify Firefox to look like other browsers (Camino, Safari), you should download this handy little add-on called Foxdie (Mozilla link). The add-on allows you to instantaneously change the browser’s buttons, color and tab settings (no app restart required) from the (web-based) settings menu. After having piloted it for about a month now, I’d also say it has relatively no footprint or interference with browsing speed.
