Disable "flash is unsafe and has been blocked" top bar warning
I find very annoying that on each website with flash content firefox shows a warning, in the form of an additional bar below the address bar. I already set flash plugin to "ask to activate". I am aware of the flash security issues following the Hacking Team hack, and I absolutely want for it to remain inactive unless I decide I trust the website. However I don't see the need to bother me with an additional bar, just to tell me that flash is disabled, which is something I already know (because I set firefox that way). Is there any way to remove it, or do I have to file a bug report? I am not willing to disable plugin blocklist or anything lowering security.

Please update flash (and Firefox while you're at it) as a new version just came out today.
Debian's `update-flashplugin-nonfree` script doesn't seem to agree with you. Did they release a version for linux also?
I'm more concerned about the interface annoying me that about flash update actually (also because this is bound to happen as soon as another flash flaw is found) since I rarely activate flash. Given your answer, I might as well try to post a bug report about the fact that I should not be given notice that something has been disallowed to run if I'm the one who choose to disallow it to run in the first place.
