Why am I now getting plugin prompts for every single website I now visit with Dragon Dictate enabled?

We have used the Dragon Dictate add on for the past 4 months with no problem (the last 2 versions of Firefox I believe). Now since the new version launched this morning, there is pop-up warning for every single website visited - "Allow www.xxxx.com to run Dragon Dictate Internet" along with a 'Continue Blocking' or 'Allow' button. Why is this here since it was not present before? Surely there must be a global setting where I can switch this off rather than have to click a button and choose 'Allow' for every single website we go to?? Or is this something that Dragon has to fix in how it deals with the new version of Firefox?

Chosen solution

Firefox 30 implements click-to-play by default for less common plugins. To globally preapprove a plugin to run on all sites, you can change a setting on the Add-ons page. Either:

  • Command+Shift+a (Windows: Ctrl+Shift+a)
  • "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons

In the left column, click Plugins. Then find your plugin in the list on the right and change the selector from "Ask to Activate" to "Always Activate".

Success?

You are a genius. Why didn't I see that Tab?? Lack of sleep certainly does make one blind..
