Whenever I open a new site a mesage appears that Firefox has prevented the site to open adobe flash player and on the site too the window appears asking whether to activate adobe flash player. I have downloaded and installed latest version of Adobe flash player yet this message appears. Additionally many ads start iopening. Has my computer remained safe?

Flash player is asked for activated due to some of activeX content in the webpage. To save the browser from crashes you have to put this in ask mode(as laready done by you) Its always good to keep updated the flash for security reasons. To stop Annoying Ads you have to use any one of addons from Ad ones ABP
