I tested this too... now I can't open sites like http://video.msn.com and also couldn't right click on a link and open it in a new tab. Seems like they tried to immitate several of Firefox's features but haven't done a good enough job so far. :p

It was causing problems for me so I removed it as well. I use Firefox most of the times and IE 6.0 for sites like our Chaupal.

Seems like there is a problem with Firefox and memory leakage when using Flash applications.

My experience when using Firefox with Chaupal was that the processor usage kept going up and up until after 10 minutes, it was no longer usable.
