[TriLUG] Mozilla plug-ins

[Joey O'Doherty]

I've noticed that Mozilla likes to download flash movies when the url is 
   pointed directly at the movie (e.g. the url contains the .swf file.) 
  However, everything works fine when the flash movie is embedded in a 
web page.  I'm not sure if this is a bug or feature...
