Amen to disabling Flash player (thank gopod for the Flashblock
extension for Firefox). Though I started using it for more pragmatic
reasons: I do a lot of my browsing accessing my Xubuntu machine over
TightVNC tunneled over SSH. Once Flash starts playing something on
this configuration, Firefox's CPU usage goes up to 100% and my system
becomes unusable.
