User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win 9x 4.90; en-US; rv:1.3) Gecko/20030312

When the page finishes, there is a link to "strong bad's web page"; a Shockwave
Flash Object. It will not open; I get a download window asking what do I want to
do with the object, but it never runs. There are similar problems with other
Flash applications on this website, games, etc.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Go to http://homestarrunner.com/sbemail51.html
2.Watch the humorous scene.
3.When it finishes, there is a link titled "strong bad's web page". Click on it.

Actual Results:  
Window of the type "you have chosen to open a file of this type..." opens and
asks "what should Mozilla do with this fle?". If I click on "open with default
application", nothing happens.

Expected Results:  
It should have run the shockwave program and shown me the "web site". It works
fine in Internet Explorer.

Another example on the same website is found at
http://homestarrunner.com/arcadegame.html
After that scene plays there is a link for a game, 
http://homestarrunner.com/trogdor.html
which does not open, it just opens a blank page. This link works fine in IE.
