Block Flash and Speed Up Loading

Web designer use Flash animation to attract visitor attention, too much flash animation will make people feel annoying. There is this firefox extension Flashblock which able to block flash animation from loading. I’m using this Flash block to block all flash animation.

  • Sadly your article offers questionable advice on several levels:

    1) http://kb.mozillazine.org/Problematic_extensions shows that the extension you mention has problems and there is official advice on record saying that users should opt for the No-Script extension instead.

    2) Seeing as each extension one runs adds an extra instance of the G.R.E. (Gecko Runtime Environment) and thus makes Firefox's RAM footprint larger as well as slowing it's load times (although most extensions don't make that much difference) it is only sensible to maximise what you get for each addition and thus the No-Script alternative is a better choice seeing as it simple does more that the one you mention.

    BTW I have no vested interest in these products.

    I added the above comment to the article you drew this information from as well.
