    Angry Flash adverts

    I am sick to death of flash adverts on a couple of sites I go on. Ad block doesn't work for them and I have tried to block them in firefox settings but they still get through. I don't mind a few adverts as I know sites have to be paid for but these ones take ages to load and take over the webpage if you accidently hover over them.
    I have just finished a months free trial of ad muncher which was brilliant... so good I am considering buying it, but before I do I wondered if there is anything out there on the interweb that does the job for free.
    Answers on a postcard please..... or post here if you can't afford a stamp.

    Hi Jaynee

    Which version of Firefox do you have?

    Have you tried this : NOScript ?

    Have a try of it and see how it goes. Its a Firefox extension that is customizable, although it may be a pain at the start. For me it was much better than AdBlock, as AdBlock has many conflict issues with other extensions and media playing in FF2 usually.

    Yeah its free

    Cool, thanks.
    I have been testing it out for the last hour and none of the dreaded adverts have got through. It was easy to allow youtube through and once I got rid of the annoying bar thing at the bottom of the page it's just fine.
    Is it a new add-on? I thought I was familiar with all that were available but obviously not.

    Jee you're very welcome

    I thought it might do the trick for ya. If you experience any errors with it, feel free to let me know and I'll do my best

    Well...its not actually a new add-on, its been around since version 1.5 of Fx but Adblock steals its fame away

    Theres too many of them to keep count to be honest.
