'cause the firefox thread that launches flash is blocking (i.e.
waiting for flash to return from launching).  Firefox+java does the
same thing.  The firefox developers probably think that adding Theme
support will help give you something pretty to look in the mean
time... <grrrrr>

IIRC, Mozilla went the same way Firefox is going.... overly bloated
features that most didn't care for.
