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.

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.
