298868 - Cannot disable Macromedia Flash.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 229196

(Firefox :: Settings UI, enhancement)

Description

[Renee Downey]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.7.7) Gecko/20050414 Firefox/1.0.3
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.7.7) Gecko/20050414 Firefox/1.0.3

Add an option to have Macromedia Flash turned OFF upon startup, and a way to
easily toggle it on and off. I usually use Internet Explorer 6.0 because I have
a free Flash Blocker for it, but not for Firefox. Flash is almost always used
for advertising, and is very annoying. Any advertiser who uses it will NOT get
my business - it is worse than SPAM.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to www.macromedia.com.
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
I see Macromedia Flash ads.

Expected Results:  
I should not see Macromedia Flash ads. If I want to see a Flash presentation, I
will turn it on.

You can use the FlashBlock extension, available at
http://www.extensionsmirror.nl/index.php?showtopic=45 , to do this. Bug 229196
is about implementing this in Firefox.
