I've upgraded to ff18.
On amazon.co.uk i got a weird ff system popup (yellowish bg) asking if i wanted to activate the flash plugin (yes. not now, never). like the remember password popup options. it didn;t register completely (end of the day ^^) so i clicked never (since amazon doesn't need flash for what i use it for). but after the click i thought hey wait, wtf, i don't know this window.
Now i didn't read anything about this in the release notes. Is this part of ff18? also i cannot reproduce this on other firefox18 installs on other machines.
Now i have installed no script + request policy, but i couldn;t find anything about this in those release notes either.
also since i clicked never, i've also looked in the about:config and searched for amazon to check if i could find the config entry which stored my choise, without luck.
also if this is from firefox itself, is there a configuration option/settings key which i can use for lookiup in about:cfg?
thanks

supff18plugin 4 months ago Ok i finally found it.
Its indeed in firefox, i finally managed to find what i clicked to trigger it (a specific element in amazon's site)
If you click on the site identity in the location bar (the globe) then more info. you'll get a site specific screen which has a permissions tab which has the allow plugins setting.
funny that i've never before clicked that deal icon ^^ and thus didn;t know about this firefox feature :)

eroval 4 months ago This feature has been out for a while.
But before version 18, it only pops up when you click the icon.
The auto popup is annoying. I hope there is an option to use the old way.
