#3Not just flash, all plugins, which is a good security idea, considering how Microsoft likes to slip in theirs via windows update.
I see the setting in FF12b5 but not sure if it works yet.

The about:config setting currently works only in Firefox 14, available on the Nightly channel: http://nightly.mozilla.org/

#6Very good Idea I think. Flashblock is one of the most useful plugins to me right now.
Although I think that mozilla will definitely have to implement a very easily accessible whitelist to go along. Otherwise, it will become slightly annoying for people with slow internet connections who rely on loading e.g. loading videos while surfing in another tab and the like.

#8I didn't know Chrome already had the option to do click-to-play until I read this. Very cool, I'm turning it on now.

#9I am quite pleased with this idea. This is what NoScript does by default and pages load noticeably faster. In requiring flash objects to be clicked first provides a increased protection against the all too common Flash zero day exploits.

You say that now, but just wait until they're written in JS+Canvas and enormously more difficult to block.
