what is needed is a switch like in the tools>options that allows a
quick switch off .
i dont want to unload flash but i might have to as the admen have found
a way to defeat the popups block in firefox.

looks ok , but it blocks everything , what firefox needs is a switch on
the front interface allowing fast switch on and off of Java and flash
adverts . to cater for all eventualities

If it supports IE then what good is it for Mozilla, Seamonkey,
Netscape, or even Firefox.

You might take a look at the Preferences Toolbar Extension for Mozilla
products, Firefox is listed.  It is an additional toolbar in your web
browser with buttons and check boxes for instant action.

The kill flash button on prefbar does work, but often not on flash ads,
making it less then it might be.

Sorry, but this works as I have it installed.

http://flashblock.mozdev.org/

Flashblock is an extension for the Mozilla, Firefox, and Netscape
browsers that takes a pessimistic approach to dealing with Macromedia
Flash content on a webpage and blocks ALL Flash content from loading.
It then leaves placeholders on the webpage that allow you to click to
download and then view the Flash content.
