My new favorite tool
Flash-based ads are really increasingly prevalent and really distracting. But occasionally there one needs information from Flash-based sites (although they are usually terribly un-usable), so there is a good reason to have the plugin installed. And unlike popup ads, Mozilla does not provide a good mechanism for selectively dropping Flash. So I was thrilled to discover the awkwardly titled jTFlashManager, which effectively lets you toggle Flash on and off. (I found it on this list of Flash-management solutions.) Now someone needs to build it into Mozilla.
