Flashblock is an extension for Flock, K-Meleon, Mozilla Application Suite, Mozilla Firefox, Netscape Communicator, Netscape 8, and SeaMonkey that prevents Macromedia Flash "movies" from automatically playing when a web page is first loaded. Flashblock is primarily used to prevent banner ads that play audio or video from starting.

Flash movies can still be played in these browsers with Flashblock enabled, but must either be explicitly started by clicking on the movie, or adding the website the movie is loaded from to Flashblock's whitelist.

Flashblock version 1.5.2 is compatible with the latest version of Firefox (v2.0).

Flashblock version 1.3.4 is compatible with most other Mozilla based browsers including older versions of Firefox.
