A few weeks ago I was reading something about choosing when to allow
Flash, so I changed Firefox's Add-On for Flash to Always Ask.

Maybe I shot myself in the foot when I did that.

I did turn the setting back to allow Flash to run all the time in
Firefox, and then go to Adobe's Flash page to download the Installer
file and ran the Installer using RunAs... in a Admin account, but it
didn't complete so I changed it to Always Ask if I want to allow it.

I've read that YouTube is switching to HTML5 and that was one of the
reasons I changed Flash's settings, but it seems like every time I go
to YouTube or see a Link to a Video on Kim Komando's pages, I am asked
to allow Flash now.

If I uninstalled Flash I'd think I c/wouldn't see the web pages I
wanted to look at.

Maybe I will try Uninstalling Flash to see how things go, thanks for
the suggestion.

Besides Wikipedia and Kim Komando, I read AskLeo (Notenboom), AskWoody,
Windows Secrets regularly.

I use NoScript and AdBlock with Firefox too, and a few others.
