Changing the User Agent on an Android phone

Optimizing Performance for the Flash Platform
Mozilla have no plans to bundle Flash with Firefox
Adobe Flash received a very welcome shot in the arm recently when Google announced that it was to package Flash with its Chrome browser. Mozilla however have since announced that they have no plans to follow suit.
Flash usually runs comparatively poorly in Firefox, so it’s a shame it’s not receiving any love to improve its performance.
Couple of Flash Firefox things
Flashbug; debug Flash content within Firefox via Firebug.
Mozilla have also revealed they’re adding safeguards against Flash crashes in future versions of their browser (much like Chrome offer).
