I recently stumbled upon Pentadactyl. Its power is making me think about switching from Safari to Firefox. However there are some Safari extensions I really find useful.
I can live without the minimal extensions, however ClickToPlugin is really useful. It for once disables all flash content on the webpage, and when clicked transforms the flash content to an HTML5 video.
Do we have an equivalent ClickToPlugin extension for Firefox?
Best Answer
NoScript
...can block plugins which you enable once via click-to-play or permanently by white-listing domains that they load content from.
NoScript's settings for blocking plug-ins can be found in:
NoScript Preferences → Embedded Content
Overall though, I'd not recommend this add-on if your goal it to merely to reduce noise. NoScript has been written first to block javascript and it is a wonderful tool for that. However, because it's so powerful and configurable, it can be difficult to use for newcomers and takes a while to setup.
