Hello FlashBlock developers,
 
 
I must comment little bit your plugin FlashBlock 
for Mozzilas  (I installed it into Firefox 1.5.x to my 2GHz notebook).
 
 
I am not very satisfied with Flashblock,  especially with its small Options
possibilities !
 
1.)    User can allow flashes "from this site", but it doesn't mean this site
really, but the site of the clicked flash animation. That is actually wrong
style of allowing something unknown, which site is not visible for user !
When I allow it, so it is immediately written into white list and it will not be
blocked more, but a man usually want to see it once and then block it again !
Therefore the way is the blocking switch, where it is possible to see the all
flashes on the page and then again via switch it OFF, to block them again.
 
...because Firefox performance is hardly dependent on number of Tabs and the
number of Flashes displayed on all browsed pages in tabs, and therefore it is a
very important to have such plugin or tool as your Flashblock as well.
 
2.)    But the problem is, I would like to see what is the Flash about,  to see
the 1st static picture of the flash at least
and the best way would be to let the flashes play, but just once, without
replays in a cycle and then switch them off or just displaying the last
animation picture of the flash...
    And the best could be to have any context menu or Hotkey or Menu item in
Firefox,
which could play the selected flash or all flashes in the page, but without
allowing of all flashes from that site.
 
 
Thanks for your work   and for the reading my critics,
 
bye for now,    Juro
