Large tracts of the web have started using Flash animations for their ads rather
than simple images. 

There's currently no way to block these ads. I don't want a big general purpose
mechanism to control content loading (as described in other bugs). I just want
the current feature to handle more types of images.

Flash, in particular, would be extremely helpful. 

It's hard to list a particular URL, because the various ad vendors sprinkle them
in somewhat randomly and things change often. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Load a page with a Flash ad. 
2. Right click on the Flash ad. 

Actual Results:  
Just the Flash context menu appears, with no option to block.

Expected Results:  
The ability to block such images would be really nice.
