When we open many tabs, load allpages but not the flash. Sometimes I open many youtube pages, all the flash loaded... I want firefox only load the pages but no flash, and when I active the page, it load the flash right now. Long before some old version have the features. Can you tell me how to solve the problem? (not the plugin: bartab, stop autoplay(they needs we to handle it..))

Does the FlashBlock extension do what you want?

No. It's just another extension. It stoped all the flash. What I think just stop the flv movie or mp3 in inactive tabs. When I active the tabs it will auto load the flv/mp3 flash player. (and before I active the tab, firefox should load all the other things(js, html..)except the flash....) hoho~
