I am running Windows 7 Pro with Firefox 28.0 and installed Flash blocker 4.20.13. Flash blocker does not block flash in web pages. How can I get Flash Blocker to block Flash applications in web pages?

I am not familiar with that particular extension. The reviews seems to indicate it doesn't work for everyone.

Here is how you can turn on Firefox's built-in "click-to-play" feature for Flash. This will delay Flash from starting on a page until you approve it.

To set Flash to "Ask to Activate", open the Add-ons page using either:

  • Ctrl+Shift+a
  • orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons

In the left column, click Plugins. Look for "Shockwave Flash" and change "Always Activate" to "Ask to Activate".

When you visit a site that wants to use the Flash, you should see a notification icon in the address bar and one of the following: a link in a black rectangle in the page or an infobar sliding down between the toolbar area and the page.

Once you approve Flash on a site, all movies on the page will load. If you want one-by-one control, there is a different extension designed to work with Firefox's click-to-play feature: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/click-to-play-per-element/

Hopefully that helps?
