Or perhaps a commitment to JS is evident. JS is still disabled 
frequently, and the next spyware/virus incident still threatens to shut 
it down as always. I don't see us any further along the DHTML/Flash 
decision tree yet, but people simply can't wait any longer (?) Did you 
notice that the Gap site uses pop-ups that get past FF's pop-up blocker?

I also note an increasing number of sites that break in FF.

In other words, perhaps the risk is just being managed less tightly (for 
lack of any other options).
