I installed flash block to speed up, and now it is blocking videos I WANT to play that did not require Adobe flash, which I don't want. How to I undo this?

I was led to some "flash block" program to speed up Firefox, and now cannot play ANY videos on you tube or such. I DO NOT WANT Adobe flash, and was able to play most videos without it, and would get an ad. How do I reverse this WITHOUT installing the Adobe Flash spyware, which literally causes Firefox to heave with privacy settings I find acceptable?

Looks like I found an answer. Had to go to "Tools", then "Add-ons", then "Extensions", and then remove the program.

Now I can play videos I want again. Seems like the developers have a little work to do on this add-on. Thanks, everyone who intended to help!

There are several blocking programs you can use. Go to the Mozilla Add-ons Web Page {web link} (There’s a lot of good stuff here) and search for what you want.
