Post subject: Viewing streamed Videos.

I was wondering if there are any extensions or tools for Mozilla Firefox, to disable the showing of advertisement banners that have moving graphics. (Such as "Free IPod - Stamp on the spider to win!), because I believe it is making the videos I want to watch streamed buffer more frequently than before.

Anyone know a tool for this?
Thanks in advance.[/b]

Perhaps in one of the extensions mine go boom uses?

I have IE set to disable those.
ZoneAlarm (or nVidia was it?) also has an option to disable these.

The banners you're talking about are typically in flash. There's an extention that allows you to replace the flash image with a View button, not sure what it's called though.

Flashblock. It's a thing of beauty.

Better get the View in IE extention too though, for stupid sites that actually use flash for their main site's conent in such a way that that you never see the play icon (some movie's sites).

Yup, they must be in flash then.

Thanks for the advice, I'm just gonna try some of the things you suggested now.
