Adobe Flash Player Settings

[Bluto]

Hello all..

There is a web page that I frequent often at home. In so doing I change pages often and on many of the pages there are these small, but incredibly irritating Orkin (Flash) ads.

My main question is; is there ANY way to disable this ad. It has a very irritating sound. The animation I can live with, but since I also like to listen to streaming internet radio, I can't just turn off the speakers, for then I'd lose the music.

Can I disable this ad?

-or-

This ad is run by the equally annoying Adobe Flash Player. Is it possible to turn off the sound thru the player? If so....HOW do you open the frikkin' player? I've looked and hunted....can't find the player anywhere.

I hate when companies pull this underhanded stuff.

Thanks for any ideas you all may have.

:disgust:

i suggest you either use FF+Adblocker or Opera. both have the ability to simply block such annoying adds. for example, i surf the AT Main page with absolutly no adds save for the occasional google addsense.

i don't know how to do this in FF but in opera, simply right click anywhere in the page and select "block content". then click the annoying flash ads and they are gone.

If I get desperate I may try Opera. I did d/l the AdBlock for FF. Good suggestion, thanks. Not sure how effectual it will be, but I'll give it a go.

Appreciated! :beer:
