I use Windows 7 and Firefox 23, and both a updated often. I uninstalled ALL Adobe products to get rid of their spying tools - long-tern cookies that could not be blocked. Shortly after I used Adobe's tools to eliminate local storage, I would go back and find that local storage availability was maxed out. That was not good.

Now I get many VERY annoying reminders to install flash. How do I turn that reminder off, permanently?

hello thospend, please try this: enter about:config into the firefox address bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up) & search for the preference named plugins.notifyMissingFlash. double-click it and change its value to false.
