To keep your browsing experience fast, reliable and secure, Firefox will not activate plugins by default. Instead, Firefox lets you choose whether or not to allow a plugin to run on a website.
If Firefox blocks a plugin, rather than seeing content, you'll see a message prompting you to click to run the plugin, such as Adobe Flash.
On some sites, you'll see just a blank rectangle, and the plugin notification icon will appear toward the left end of the address bar.
If you click the message or the notification icon to activate the plugin, Firefox will prompt you with these options:
- Allow: Activates Flash only for a single visit. To automatically activate Flash for all future visits to that site, check the Remember this decision checkbox.
- Don't Allow: Dismisses the notification prompt without activating Flash.

- If you don't fully trust a site, for example, you arrived at the site by following a link, you probably do not want to activate the plugin.
