Flash Killer
Description
Flash Killer is an extension for the Firefox browser (version 2 to 10), to remove with one click all the Flash contents of the current page, preserving space.
It works under all Operating Systems, but it's interesting especially for Linux.
The Flash plugin for Linux has a painful bug, all Flash content is always covering
the other elements of the page, hiding and making inaccessible other parts of the page
like dropdown menus, preventing to navigate on these sites. Often I simply
want to fire this *?!*§! of Flash to access to a link. Bang! Flash Killer
do it in one clic ;) .
Features
Flash Killer add an item to the contextual menu, as well as an item in the Tools
menu. You can remove these items in the options if you prefer.
A button is available too for your
toolbar. Right click on the toolbar, choose 'Customize...', drag and drop
the 'Flash Killer' button.
Since the version 1.1, you can use a button in the statusbar too.
How to put back the Flash contents?
Just reload the current page ;) .
If you desire a more radical extension, to block all Flash contents as soon as a page is loading, take a look at the FlashBlock extension.
The PrefBar extension contains too a button to eliminate the Flash, so if you use it, Flash Killer is useless.
