After logging onto Ebay the Adobe Flash "allow now or always allow" popped up. Not thinking it would allow all these adds to pop out from the side and bottom, I allowed. Not a good idea. How do I deactivate Adobe from allowing this to go on? Thanks

hello JT, there is a plugin icon at the left of the address bar that allows you to change these permissions. if you want a more fine-tuned control and only allow single plugin elements on a page to run, then you could use an addon like this one: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/click-to-play-per-element/
