is there a way to turn flash off on a site by site basis? What other options apart from simply removing it?
I learned early on to live without Flash. I skipped over Windows by going from DesqView to Warp 4 on discovering need for Internet. Linux for me came many years later. In the OS/2 years, Flash was all trouble for those attempting to use it, so I never installed it, and thus learned life without it. During that OS/2 time I spent a lot of time in Mozilla QA, so learned MOZ_NO_REMOTE=1 and -P early on. The former was later expanded to -no-remote as a cmdline option. On this OS box this user currently has 7 Firefox profiles and 5 SeaMonkey. Only 1 profile is used with an rpm's installation, and that is the only combination that knows how to find the Flash plugin. All other profiles and the Mozillas used with them are mozilla.org binaries lacking instruction how to find the rpm-installed Flash plugin. For those rare times I find Flash necessary or desirable, I use the OS profile. The rest, and the DE, remain protected from the resource hogging and often crashing that results from the web scourge that is Flash. https://web.archive.org/web/20001110133000/http://www.useit.com/alertbox/200... -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
