Admittedly it takes just as many mouse clicks to manually configure
Firefox to block flash video content as it does to manually
turn flashblock on and off . The advantage of
flashblock is
that you can whitelist websites you visit regularly. For instance, if
the homepage you logon to first each day has flash video that you do
want to see, you can set up flashblock to show video on your homepage,
but still block flash video on all other web pages if you decide to
browse the internet later.
