Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.go to any website (tomshardware.com is a great example of flash gone horribly wrong) 2.suffer instant epileptic seizure from 10,000,000,000 flash ads playing at once 3. Actual Results: horrible headache. Expected Results: allowed me to block flash from the advertizers to be blocked from executing
There is an extension for this called flashblock http://flashblock.mozdev.org.

Agree this is a big problem. You can block images but you can't block macromedia flash: 1st the right click non working at all on Macromedia flash. 2nd even if you enter adds site to be blocked in "Options" , "Content tab" , "Exceptions" (near "Load images") it still shows flash from that site.
