Well it must have changed then, because it worked the other way, it blocked everything then you had to say unblock and then only for that session.

This is quoted:

Flashblock is an extension for the Mozilla and Firefox browsers that takes a pessimistic approach to dealing with Macromedia Flash content on a webpage and blocks ALL Flash content from loading. It then leaves a placeholder on the page that allows you to click to view the Flash content.
from here

If you can allow sites you know, that may be good, but if you're surf a lot, to a lot of unknown sites, it's really annoying. So much that I'd rather put up with the adverts.

It's an extension to think about* before you install it.

*Not saying that it's something deep and meaningful
