disable flash?

[Jim Higson]

Anyone know how to disable flash in moz/ff so I can test if my replacement
content works ok?

I can do this in Konq, but can't find the option in ff.

Install PrefsBar. It puts a whole bunch of preferences options right on a
toolbar. Great for Web developers. On mine, I have a check box that
toggles Flash.

Web developers bar... it's great.

The plugin is usually in ~/.mozilla/plugins. If not you'll have to become
root and do an 'slocate -u' as root to build a files database.
Then you can use 'locate' as a normal user to locate the flash plugin. It's
usually named 'libflashplayer.so' or the like. Write a tiny bash script
that can rename it and another to name it back. Give these scripts very
short names for ease of use. Ain't Linux grand?

I've got that - can't see anything to disable flash, only images, css etc.
Where should I look?

Not such a bad idea. Since FF's link to it seems to just be a symlink I feel
more comfortable just removing + recreating it.

Hmmm you got me there!!!! I thought you could, but had never tried. You
can toggle Flash on and off in Avant Browser (a nifty little wrapped for
IE), and I could have swore FF had it too... doesn't look like it does.
Sorry!

Use the Prefbar extension. Very handy. Has a Flash button.
