Mozilla to enable Click to Play for all Firefox plugins by default

That's stupid. So I still need Flashblock installed. Most of what you'll encounter will be flash.

Easiest way to avoid flash is to not install it in the first place lol 😉

None of the websites i usually visit use flash so for me this is an easy option.
 
It just says flash support won't be enabled by default.

Click to Play for flash still works and is already built in without the need for flashblock.

Why wouldn't anyone install Flash? almost all websites I visit need Flash

I have the exact opposite experience. I've been using Flashblock for years and very, very rarely ever have to actually click on any of the Flash objects to use a website. 99% of them work just fine without and only use Flash for ads, IME.
 
I been using click-to-play in Chrome for months. The whitelist sites feature is useful. Chrome exposes the white list API to extensions. I am guessing that the about:config settings might be available to firefox extensions, so someone can write an add-on with plugin+site specific enable/disable click-to-play.

My Top Comments For YouTube chrome extension recognizes click-to-play and shows video image under the blank place holder. Helps you with deciding whether to load video or not.
