How to Temporarily Disable Flash Player

Is there any way to Temporarily Disable Flash Player in Firefox?
(latest ver). There is one of those Yahoo groups that I like to read
from the web. They got these ads in Flash format, and they got all
sorts of moving and flashing stuff. After ten minutes of that, while
I am trying to read the messages, I am about ready to go out of my
mind. Is there a way to turn it off and on?

Actually, I did rename the .DLL file used for Flash player and it
stopped working, but I hate to have to do that everytime I use those
groups,

I love Firefox, but it seems to be lacking in adjustments, such as
beingto easily turn thses off.

There are two extensions you can try: FlashBlock or AdBlock. FlashBlock
does just what it's name suggests. AdBlock will allow you to block the
ad server who is responsible for the ads. Personally, I *love* AdBlock;
I sometimes forget what webpages look like with ads... until I fire up
IE at work

How do I easily turn off Flash in IE? I'd *love* to be able to
temporarily disable flash on my work computer -- where I'm forced to use IE!

George Bush's War of Choice on Iraq is a totally unnecessary war.
Every life lost, every limb lost, every disfigurement, every
disability caused there is more blood on George W. Bush's hands,
and on the hands of everyone who voted for George W. Bush.
The more you know, the less likely you were to vote for Bush.

I vote for Adblock. Flashblock is great as long as you really don't
want most flash, but it does cause problems with some desired flash.
Adblock will kill them right off.

Mark,
Have you considered Preferences Toolbar extension at
http://extensionroom.mozdev.org/main.php/Firefox
(under 'Configuration')?
I use it on Mozilla browser, and consider it one of the most essential
extensions available.
Instantly change a page's colour, allow/disallow images, Java,
animation, Flash, change fonts and size, browser spoofing etc etc.
Good help page too.

Sold! You've convinced me! <g>.

What I like about AdBlock over FlashBlock is that it's only killing the
advertising Flash files from ad servers that I've configured. I still
get menus and other "wanted" flash content... just never any of the
annoying flash ads. Whenever I come across a new advertising server, I
block the iFrame with AdBlock, and never see the content again.

AdBlock, it's my favorite Firefox extension
