I think you may be able to install the flashblock plugin, even without
flash installed, and put an end to the flash-related parts of the page
(which may include the install what you haven't got parts).

Give it a try, and let us know.  I have installed flash, long ago, so I
can't recall the behaviour beforehand.

George Orwell's '1984' was supposed to be a warning against tyranny, not
a set of instructions for supposedly democratic governments.
