Firefox 49.0.2 I have flash player set to "Ask to Activate" on the plugins page, with "protected mode" on.
On some bbc.com pages flash runs anyway. On some bbc.com pages it doesn't run saying "you need flash..." in the video pane. Even on a page where it runs it may first say it doesn't run as in the previous sentence, and then after a pause start up. On such a page, there is still a grey plugin icon to the left of the URL, which if clicked in shows two buttons, "allow flash now" and "allow and remember".
I cannot change flash settings for such a page because when I get the Page Info dialog up from any web page whatsoever, and look under the Permissions tab, flash is not listed! All other plugins are there apart from a codec.
What can I do to get control of flash. I do not want any exceptions to "Ask to Activate".
