Here are two options to stop the constant annoyance of flash ads.
Adblock Plus
Adblock Plus is amazingly powerful and customisable, it can be used as a tool to block a large portion of advertising online or to specifically target sites associated with malware to help keep you safe.
It rarely interferes with my browsing, and it is very easy to forget you're even using it. So much so that it's quite disconcerting when you use someone else's computer and that lovely clean website you are used to visiting is now covered in ads.
It is also quick and easy to enable/disable as required and seems to have no noticeable performance hit on Firefox. It is even likely to result in a speed up due to the large number of flash banners you are able to filter out.
FlashBlock
For those really annoyed by flash ads, FlashBlock serves as the ultimate solution. It blocks all flash content and leaves a placeholder for it instead, allowing you to just see the flash content you want. This solution will make your browsing experience less seamless, but does put an end to flash ads. completely.
