Flash player and excessive popups

more options

Yes, I was once plagued by flash player based ads opening tons of popups so I set flash player to ask for activation, solved my problem.... BUT, I managed to press "Allow and remember" instead of just "Allow now", so my question is, where to do I find the list with the sites that are not required to ask for permission? As I am now plagued by excessive popups once more... I have ran both Malware and Antivirus scans, neither showed any sign of finding any files related to the ads.

When Flash Player (or any other plug-in) is running, there is an icon to the far left of the address bar that looks like a LEGO. Click it, and it will tell you what plug-ins are running on that specific site. From there, you can block the plug-in, allow now, or allow and remember.

Go to about:addons. On the sidebar, click 'Plug-ins'. Find Flash Player, and select "Ask to Activate" in the box next to it.

It is set to "Ask to Activate". But when it asks, it also has a button saying "Allow and remember", wich I accidentally pressed. And now I need to undo that.

Also, the flash player has a tendency to turn the whole browser unresponsive for a minute or two before it tells me there are unresponsive scripts running in flash. This is also an old problem wich solved itself when I set flash to "Ask to Activate" but is now returning. Also the site in question is batoto.net if that helps.
