Why the hell are you blocking flash?
For a few days you've been blocking flash for "security purposes". Can't you just give one freaking message and leave us be? Hell you really want people to leave your for Google Chrome?

Hello, we support volunteers aren't responsible for blocking plugins, but we can help you cope with it if you give us the chance.
Adobe released an update today to resolve the critical issues it admitted were in the 18.0.0.203 version. You can get 18.0.0.209 on this page:
https://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html
In the first table, look for the row for "plugin-based browsers" and you can use either the EXE or the MSI installer.
No one can promise that this kind of block will never happen again. Should that occur, if you are not accustomed to using the "Ask to Activate" feature for a plugin, here's what to expect:
When you visit a site that wants to use 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.
If you see a good reason to use Flash, and the site looks trustworthy, you can go ahead and click the Lego-like icon in the address bar to allow Flash. You can trust the site for the time being or permanently.
But some pages use Flash only for tracking or playing ads, so if you don't see an immediate need for Flash, feel free to ignore the notification! It will just sit there in case you want it later.

Thank jscher2000. I was too quick to pass judgement. I read on the internet how flash is a security risk for your computer. Firefox did the right thing (though it's annoying at times)
Thanks again for your help (and sorry for the tone of my question)

Unfortunately Just about every version since December has been on blocklist now due to proven in wild exploits. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/blocked/
Before that no version of Flash player plugins were blocked since Feb 2013 since they were not of critical security concerns. The malware mentioned in list were malware extensions claiming to be Flash player.
The Pepper Flash in Chrome had been affected also only one may not notice with silent Chrome updates to update the Pepper Flash in Chrome.
