Also, I HATE Flash web sites as a matter of general principal.

I didn't even realize it was a flash site, just that it didn't work for me. While we're ranting, the wonderful folks at Adobe finally released a 64-bit flash plugin for Linux back in November but it crashes Firefox on about half the sites that use Flash. There's been a bug (http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FP-1026) open for almost 6 months with no response from their dev team :mad:

I didn't realize Adobe ever bothered with a 64-bit version of Flash for Linux, but even the 32-bit version used to do the browser hang thing all the freaking time. It's much rarer now, but Flash's performance is still abysmal. Ugh.

Apparently Safari is the browser to use for that site. I wasn't even sure what you all were complaining about!
