getting rid of flash



Hi!

How can I get rid of the annoying messages from Mozilla that tell me
to download a plugin whenever a webpage contains one of those obsolete
'flash' things? I definitely do not want all that 'flash' rubbish ---
it only wastes bandwidth and supposedly provides no information at
all ...

Unfortunately, squid has some bug which prevents me from using it as a
proxy so that I can't run squidguard, either. Instead of squid, I'm
using oops. I've already tried to use filterproxy to filter-out the
'flashes', but it doesn't work at all. (Oops is running transparently
on the firewall, and filterproxy might have trouble with such a
combination.)

It would suffice if I could tell Mozilla to just ignore 'flashes'
instead of popping up a message, and not to download them.


BTW, is there any way to tell the Mozilla LDAP-client to use anonymous
logins? It's annoying to be asked for a password over and over again
even while just typing your search string at the address-book window
...
