I used to be able to click on ask to activate for my add ons, especially Flash and videos when I went onto a news channel. Now it only shows always activate.

What is the problem. I want to be able to have videos ask permission first. This was easier in Firefox a year ago and now I can no longer do this. All I see is always activate and the other options are grayed out.
