233010 - block flash ad like picture ad is not possible

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 94035

(Firefox :: General, enhancement)

Description

[Andreas Schrafl]

User-Agent:       
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007 Firebird/0.7

Since more and more advertisments banners are made with flash I would very much
like to block these ads like picture ads. Now you can evade the adblocker by
using a flash object even if it just consists of a simple still picture.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a site with a flash banner ad.
2. Try to block it (is not possible) by rightclicking (or ctrl-click) on the
image (or flash).

Actual Results:  
You can't manipulate (add) the flash to the list of blocked items (until now
just pictures). It shows up the next time.

Expected Results:  
The flash popup menu should alow me to block the flash like it is done with
pictures.
