Enable plugins as needed

A new setting - at least to me. Apparently it appeared with FF14 at some point. It seem intriguing - might be worth trying, for pages with tons of flash video windows - for example »hfboards.hockeysfuture.com/showt···=1238491

Is anyone else using this?

--------
Enable opt-in plug-ins in Firefox

Step 1: In the address bar, type "about:config." When you get the warning prompt, click the "I'll be careful, I promise" button.

Step 2: Search for the "plugins.click_to_play" preference, then double-click on the entry so the value reads "true."

It's not complete...

Phase 1 Initial minimal implementation in Firefox 14 (turned off)

Phase 2 partial in Firefox 16.

Phase 3 is under way.

Thanks for the tip. I'm testing this as an alternative to the Flashblock extension and I'm liking it so far.
