Flash Block (Plus) by AdblockLite

Rated 1 out of 5
by Firefox user 13421769, 7 years agoSimply put, it does NOT work on all sites. Good case in point is www.aol.com. It does not stop any flash video content from starting up the minute I hit the home page for AOL. I've reviewed the video for using it and also read the instructions and FAQs. But it simply does not work on AOL no matter that the URL list is totally blank. And AOL is not the only site where I've had this problem with Flash Block (Plus).
Fortunately the older competing add-on, Flashblock, does work on ALL websites even if it is a legacy product.

- Rated 3 out of 5by ianb, 6 years agoUnfortunately breaks too many sites, used to be my app of choice to toggle flash if needed but as an example installed and running interaction between flashblock and WhatsApp web lock Firefox up solid and the whole machine becomes very very unresponsive, if you can get a terminal open it's possible to kill FF otherwise it's a full on restart.
I realise it may not be the fault of the app but I had to choose which to keep - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14542577, 6 years ago
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 14389581, 6 years agoI liked this product a LOT more when it was less obtrusive. At first it just put an icon up to tell you that it had blocked something in flash. Then it started putting little buttons at the top of the page. Now it goes full screen to tell me that it's active. STOP THAT!!! Go back to the icons and GET OUT OF MY FACE!

- Rated 1 out of 5by IgotaBONGO, 6 years agoIf there was a way to give this add on zero stars, I would. Not that it doesn't work, because it does. But... I noticed that, if for example you want to block ANY KIND of flash on ALL websites, this applications seems to know better than you do. So, if after a while you take a peek at the listing of sites that are allowed to run flash, and... surprise, surprise, look what is there; all the URLs you removed previously! Now, I can understand that some people would like this to work without fiddling on FB, YT, G00gle or any other web rubbish. And they're welcome to it. But call me crazy... If I define MY settings on MY device, to follow MY preferences, I kind of resent an app telling me they know better, and I should STFU... If I wanted that I'd use other rubbish applications like AdBlock with its "Acceptable Ads", right? Ah well... [REMOVE] > Click

- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 14304815, 6 years agoLots of trouble lately with videos autoplaying. Enabling flash by site instead of by specific video clicked on means messes like I just encountered with FOUR videos on one page, from the same source, all starting to play simultaneously once flash is enabled for their source site--and they won't stay PAUSED even if I pause 3 to keep one playing in splendid audio isolation, but keep breaking into play after 30 seconds or so. VERY BAD.

- Rated 3 out of 5by TruePath, 6 years agoAll of you complaining that it doesn't work at all and lets video through need to take another look at the name of the extension. It's FLASH block not Video block.
By default Youtube and most other major cites use html5 video now so blocking flash does nothing. Indeed, you now have to approve flash for it to run on a website. Doesn't mean it's not useful to control flash more granularity but don't diss an extension because it doesn't do something it was never designed to do.
If you want videos to be blocked you can try something like: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/image-video-block/?src=search - Rated 4 out of 5by FD, 6 years agoWorks well on a lot of sites, though it's not blocking everything related to Flash, as one can see here:

Users complaining that it's not working at all should know that many videos don't use Flash anymore, but HTML5, and this addon is not designed to block HTML5 content.

- Rated 1 out of 5by KimberTLE, 7 years agoThe vast majority of videos play like it's not even installed. Practically useless.
