Firefox wants newer Flash player but my machine doesn't meet Flash 10.2 CPU speed

Just installed Firefox 3.6 and it says I need to update Flash player plug-in, but my machine doesn't meet the current Flash player 10.2 system requirements, ie for CPU speed. My CPU is 1.7 GHz. New Flash wants something like 2.4 GHz. I have 128 MB of dedicated graphics.

IE does display flash content, using Flash active X plug-in, 10.0.32.18

Otherwise like Firefox.

Update to the latest version of Flash that is compatible with your system. (probably 10.1 r102) After that ignore Mozilla's messages about needing to update Flash.

IE uses a different version of Flash (ActiveX) than other browsers use (Plugin), so it's like comparing apples and oranges.
