I will be reading an article on Yahoo & suddenly one of the infomercials at the side will start playing. It is difficult to find which one it is. Sometimes I have several tabs & am doing something on one & looking for info on another. An infomercial will start playing & it is difficult to find it & shut it down. Any suggestions on how to locate & shut down the offending infomercial?

Flash block {web link} Never be annoyed by a Flash animation again! Blocks Flash so it won't get in your way, but if you want to see it, just click on it

You should see a speaker icon on the tab if there is sound playing in that tab.
