George again ... reinstalled, recognized that I had used the proper
BEGINNING of uninstallation, chrome manager, but had not done anything
with usercontent.css.  Completed per instructions, site works.  Now if
I can find a way to enable flash for a site, I would go back.  What
got so terrible frustrating was sites with a flash only menu which
reloads upon back ... 10 flash items to redisplay what I had navigated
from, often even what i navigated to.

I'd like to be able to (concept) right click on a flash item blocked
by your superb helper, select either (preferrred) "enable flash for
this site for this instance" or (less preferred) "enable flash for
this site"

THANKS!
