New Flashblock extension
[link|https://addons.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?application=firefox&category=Web%20Annoyances&numpg=10&id=433|Flashblock]
Replaces Flash objects with a button you can click to view them.

I've been using it for a few days and like it.

New silence is golden
While I installed this to stop the last of the pop-ups, I'm really appreciating the disappearance of those noisy ads.

New Newer version
Firefox started crashing on occasion when accessing [link|http://macslash.org|MacSlash]. I don't hit that site often, so it took a bit to figure out that it was most likely crashing due to Flashblock.

The extensions site has version 1.2.9. I found the main site for [link|http://flashblock.mozdev.org/index.html|Flashblock] and they have version 1.3.1. After installing that, the problems at MacSlash appear to have cleared up.

NOTE - you can't just upgrade Flashblock. Follow the [link|http://flashblock.mozdev.org/uninstall.html|uninstall process] and then install the new version.
