I hope not because I'm using it right now with a site that requires
flash 9. IMO, it works much better than windows firefox with wine
emulation plus the linux firefox-devel has a security issue, I believe.
The only issue is with a few extra processes for flash on ocassion,
but I'm not complaining. The version of FBSD firefox from ports
firefox3 I'm using is 3.0.5.
