Take charge: Flash plugin blocking
Here's one more reason to use Firefox:
You know those annoying animated advertisement banners? They're an eyesore. Well, this plugin automatically replaces embedded flash animations with a nice little f icon. If you absolutely want to play the animation file (for instance, if you're browsing a site that requires flash for some reason) just click on the placeholder and it starts playing the animation.
Make sure that you enable the plugin after you download it (look under Tools->Extensions, and double click the newly installed plugin to choose "enable") and restart Firefox or Mozilla for the plugin to take effect.

Thank you, Jeff. I will look for this feature and enable it with great glee.
