The request to allow flash player is causing all current sites in use to freeze. Having to accept allow is annoying considering this did not happen until recently? Sometimes, it does not allow me to use flash the first time, it can take 2-3 times after the need to refresh the page?

To set Mozilla Firefox to ask to activate plugins, click the menu button, select “Add-ons”, and click “Plugins” in the sidebar. Locate “Shockwave Flash” in the list, click the drop-down box to the right of it, and select “Ask to Activate”.

You can also set other plugins to “Ask to Activate” from here, if you like. When you visit a website that includes Flash content, you’ll see a plugin icon on the address bar. Click it and select “Allow and Remember” to permanently give a website that ability to run Flash content.

To change this setting in the future, visit the website, click the same plugin icon, and click “Block plugin”.

You can also right-click on the page and select “View Page Info”. Click the “Permissions” icon and you can select whether any plugins have special permissions to run on the current website.

Firefox doesn’t seem to offer a single, browser-wide interface that lists all websites you’ve given permission to run Flash.
