How to disable the additional Flash pop-up?

Hi, since the latest Firefox (version 24.0 I believe), there is an additional pop-up when click-to-play is enabled.

Previously, I could just click the Flash object on the page, and the object would load without problems.

However, since updating, an additional pop-up is displayed EVERY time, and I have to click an additional button to be able to use the Flash object. Of course, I could click "allow every time", but the whole point of the click-to-play is that I want to click the object before it starts doing things. Pop-up here: http://i.imgur.com/ZDlKWJN.png

Even worse, what I just found out, is that after a while the pop-up changes, and I can NO LONGER just accept the Flash object ONCE. I HAVE TO enable it FOREVER, or BLOCK IT FOREVER. WHY? I just want to click each Flash object to use it, click it once, and click it every time. This is the whole point of the feature. Why was it changed? Pop-up I got after clicking a few times on YouTube: http://i.imgur.com/cibaAIx.png

I found the solution: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/click-to-play-per-element/

Still so stupid of Firefox/Mozilla to go this direction in the first place.... starting to actually hate Firefox more and more with each release. Less and less reminiscent of the actual ideas behind Phoenix/Firebird when it first started.
