That does indeed look potentially useful...

Thank you. That should take care of some misbehaving Flash ads on a site I 
regularly visit.
I dislike seeing one of my CPUs maxed out by the web browser.

Agreed...

(Although in my case it's just because I have an old PC.)

Sadly, it appears that it blocks images according to which domain the 
image is loaded from, not which domain the HTML requesting it is loaded 
from. >_<

Well, you still have to manually flipp the buttons, but at least now it 
only takes a few mouse clicks...

  Isn't that the idea?

It means that if a single web page loads adverts from 25 different 
domains, I have to manually block all 25 domains, one at a time. 
(Assuming I can somehow figure out where the images are being loaded 
from. The HTML source is like spaghetti and half of it is JS-generated.)

  Use adblock in that case. You can right-click on the image and select
to block images from that site from the context menu.

There is a FlashBlock addon available. I have it. It's one of those "can't live 
without" things, side by side with the addblock addon.
Go on the Mozilla web site, navigate to the addons section and search for 
flashblock.
You can configure it to disable all flash but those you want. It use a white 
list. The place where a flash is suposed to appears is still there, but with a 
"F" button allowing you to start THAT flash, this time.
