Shockwave ads are increasing on, particularly for example on Yahoo, but the
ability of Moz to block ads doesn't affect (at least so far as I know) the
loading and display of shockwave ads.

I would love some way to better control the content of a page. Plain "banner"
type ads are on their way out it seems. Those are the only ones that the image
blocking capabilities of Moz affect.



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to any web page with a Shockwave Flash ad (lots can be found on Yahoo).
2. Right-click produces the Flash menu, no blocking available.
3.
