> I prefer the approach being considered by Safari to report that Flash (and other legacy plugins) is not available on the platform even if it is installed. For those who like this behavior and want it in Firefox without having to constantly murk in about:config / about:addons, use https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/flashdisable/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/flashdisable/ As for "why?", it's because this behavior ensures the HTML5 is served, and if a site absolutely requires Flash, it's only a click away to activate. I prefer this to current Firefox's Click-to-play, who shows Flash in my browser plugins list, causing some sites to prioritize and serve Flash rather than HTML5.
