I repeatedly have to uninstall the Adobe Flash Player 12 Plugin and Adobe Flash Player 12 ActiveX. Both of these repeatedly install themselves without permission. In Options > Options > Advanced > Updates I have the option "Check for updates but let me choose whether to install them" checked, and it has been that way for weeks. I work from home and am on the net all day aggregating news sources and with no flash I don't get bombarded with constant flash advertisements and sudden, loud noises. However, these two will install themselves at least twice a day, forcing me to manually uninstall them each time.

Plugins cannot be installed from inside Firefox. Plugins are software programs, like Firefox itself. They can only be installed by running their setup program (.exe file).

Flash Player is required to browse some sites, so it's safest to turn it off rather than uninstall it. To do so,

  1. Press Ctrl+Shift+A to open the Add-ons Manager.
  2. Click Plugins on the left.
  3. On the right, set Shockwave Flash to "Never Activate" to turn it off completely. You can alternatively set it to "Ask to Activate" to be prompted to turn it on when browsing a site that has Flash content.

If you insist on getting rid of Flash Player, there's an uninstaller you can download to get rid of all installed versions. See the following page.
