Thank you for information I will try to look into the Firefox settings |
| 27 |
more attentively now. But about 6 or 7 years ago, yet on Ubuntu, I tried |
| 28 |
to disable Adobe Flash player and have managed to accomplish it only after |
| 29 |
uninstalling it. Interestingly enough, after that I was no able to install |
| 30 |
it back on the same computer. Well, to be more precise, I could install it |
| 31 |
back, but it did not work any more. :-) |
