FireFox now has changed the default to click-to-activate for the Flash plugin, but this behavior a couple of years ago led me to enable click-to-activate on all my computers, when I opened up an older machine I hadn't fired up in a while and noticed that Flash was conveniently disabled everywhere.
Until FF's recent change, this behavior broke a lot of websites, and clearly now they're fixing their interaction with click-to-activate behavior. Some sites would have an element with js handlers over the flash plugin for ads or something else, some would just display a message that's like, "You should download the flash player", which meant they were entirely broken.
