So i set flash to ask to activate. So then I went to a site and then activated flash for that site. Flash played as normal. Now I want to disable flash for that site. How do I do that?

While viewing that site, call up the Page Info dialog using any of these:

  • right-click and choose View Page Info > Permissions
  • (menu bar) Tools menu > Page Info > Permissions
  • click the padlock or globe icon to the left of the site address > More Information > Permissions

Toward the top of that pane should be the site's permissions with respect to Flash, which you can set back to default or to a specific permission.

Does that work?

Hmm, if you selected Allow but not Allow and Remember, it's possible that as long as the permissions is on Ask to Activate, Firefox will continue to permit Flash until you exit out and start Firefox up again. I haven't tested that myself.
