The plugin finder, unfortunately, doesn't allow the user to agree to the license
until the ENTIRE page is loaded: this includes images that can take a minute to
load AFTER the license body itself has been loaded. This can cause headaches,
and piss people off.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
Firefox waited until the final images loaded, even a minute after the license
text was already loaded.

Expected Results:  
Immediately allowed an agreement as soon as the license body itself was loaded.

this is done on purpose and probably legally necessary.

I'll see if I can find a better page to use.

Comment 2

I don't think there is another page, sorry.

It's more of Macromedia's fault anyways because of their horrible loading times.

Comment 3

Well, this was obviously fixed.
