Is there a way to make Adobe Flash only start on click?

Chrome has an option that I can set to only start Adobe Flash if i click (in each case). So, at first what appears in the window or frame where Flash wants to start up, is just a little icon that says "click here to start Flash". I'd like the same thing for Firefox. Does it exist? If so, can you describe how i get to the place to do this? Thanks!

In the Addons Manager (Ctrl+Shift+A) -> Plugins -> Drop Menu on far right of Flash Plugin and select "Ask to Activate".

Flash block {web link} Never be annoyed by a Flash animation again! Blocks Flash so it won't get in your way, but if you want to see it, just click on it
