Yes, I am aware of that. More fundamentally I believe all those labels
are either misleading or break down eventually.

In my searches, I've noticed that people have some notable problems with
firefox loading pages with flash when using ubuntu 6.10. I'm sticking
with the LTS version (6.06), but wondered if I should try any of those
fixes (usually just an about:config setting). I'll see if I can find a
pattern. By the way, the CBC pages in question do have a flash ad on them.
And speaking of annoyances, I hate that my scroll wheel doesn't move the
page when the cursor goes over a flash box.
