Click to play for plugins not working in Firefox

[Chiefcrowe]

I enabled click to play for all plugins and it was working great but now not in FF 23.
I tried a couple of modifications in about:config but they didn't work.

Is anyone else seeing this?

I had that in 23, but it fixed itself in 24. Dunno what the problem was.

Yes, this changed in FF23 , so now you also have to go to the list of plugins (Add-ons Manager) and select "Ask to activate".

Thanks a lot, that was it! strange that i missed that but I don't recall them mentioning this change either.

So is it still possible to set this on a per site basis?

And now in 24 they changed it again. D:

Now on top of all you also have to select "Allow now" or "Allow and remember" when you click to enable.
But then even if you select "Allow now" it will be automatically enabled for any new tabs on that site, until you restart Firefox.

All I ever wanted was click-to-enable for every Flash element.
What the hell, Mozilla?? :|
