I would like it to automatically ping Adobe looking for the Flash player

that is not available.  When I'm particularly irritated with some site

that demands Flash, I follow the link to Adobe's site where they "don't

have a plugin for my platform" and refresh 10-20 times to sprinkle some

love in their web server logs.  FF automating that for me would be

great!
