Control Flash in Firefox with Flashblock

To configure Flashblock (and all your extensions), first go to the Tools menu and select the Add-ons option.
Go To Firefox Add ons
Next, select the extension you want to configure.  Here we are about to edit the Flashblock settings.
Click to Get Flashblock Preferences
Flashblock is a pretty simple extension to configure.  You can turn it on or off from the On/Off tab, as well as having it block Microsoft Silverlight content as well.

Turn Flashblock On or Off
The Whitelist tab allows you to create a list of websites that Flashblock will ignore.  This is nice for YouTube and Hulu, websites where you are going there specifically for the Flash content!
Create a Whitelist of Allowed Sites
Now, when you go to a website that includes Flash content – we removed Vimeo from our whitelist for this example – you’ll see this:
Flashblock on Vimeo
You can tell there is something missing because of the Flash logo in the middle of the large black space.  To turn on Flash for that part of the page, simply click the logo and the content will load.  Simple!
From now on, thanks to Flashblock, Flash content is under your control.  Nothing will load unless you tell it to.
