This means that every time I visit a site which uses flash, I have to click cancel on the "Download Plugin" dialog. Konqueror has the nice feature that you can tick the "don't ask me about this plugin again" box on this dialog, so that you only ever get asked once if you want to download the plugin in question. My mozilla browsing experience would benefit from a similar feature in mozilla. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Go to site which uses flash (http://www.theinquirer.net/ say) 2. Get annoyed at having to deal with the plugin dialog which pops up *again* Actual Results: User gets annoyed :) Expected Results: First time mozilla sees a new plugin it should pop up a dialog asking me if I want to download the plugin, and whether I ever want to be asked about this plugin again. If I request not to be asked again, then when mozilla subsequently sees objects in webpages which use that plugin, it should ignore them.
