Why are you still using that? It's been abandoned for a long time. (The last time it had regular updates was in 2010) I stopped using it when it got mostly broken, which was years ago. Have you tried the built in click-to-play feature? (With https://addons.mozilla.org/hu/firefox/a ... t/?src=api if you want it to be better)

Odd, I know I installed it after 2010 (since I only had this computer since 2012). I went ahead and removed it anyway as was causing issues with Photobucket too.
ETA: The version I have was last updated in December 2014.

Flashblock blocks HTML5 videos too??
Had to find a profile that still had it installed, but Yes it does along with Silverlight too. Here are the options for version 1.5.18.1 released December 2014.

Hmmm..neat. That's better than Chrome which won't let you silence a noisy tab.
not true, Chrome introduced this feature a few months ago. you have to enable it from the chrome:flags page. ofc, it still gets handicapped by Chrome's horrendous UI, if you're a heavy tab user..
