(this is for a project)

So I did not install Flash for Firefox. I followed a bunch of steps to disable downloading, installed FlashBlock, AdBlock. But everytime I hit a website that has a flash file, it prompts me to download that .swf file. How can I stop this?!

Would NoScript for Firefox help?

Try playing with Firefox's setting in Tools > Options > Applications > ShockWave Flash. If it's set to always ask that might be the problem.

Also try Tools > Addons > ShockWave Flash and set it to disable. This may be your best bet.
