Okay I understand there is a critical vulnerability in adobe flash. I dont care. I will get around to updating Adobe Flash when I get around to it.

How do you turn off, this absolutely annoying, and productivity impairing Feature of Firefox which causes it to automatically disable stuff to where I have to manually enable it each time?

In fact I did just update it [Flash] and it works (so far) but in the future I DO NOT want to be AMBUSHED with this feature. Like ever again.

I looked in about:config but I couldnt find anything pertaining to flash in general.
