I have Hughesnet with limited bandwidth and even with adblock plus websites start flash videos now - how can I stop the videos from loading when the web page loads

Hughesnet only allows us to use an allotted amount of download. If I use tabs on Firefox, some pages start their bandwidth eating flash yada yada and waste my allotment. I'd like to have Firefox default to NOT loading flash unless I do something to say OK. Adblock plus helps eliminate flash ads, but not page content that is in flash.
