Whoever has bored.swf bugs me because I wont use Flash and every time I have to say cancel. If there are multiple posts then I have to cancel it multiple times. It's not in the MIME types but even if it were there is no option to simply ignore. Only choose an app or set to 'ask', I dont want it to ask. Just have it do nothing. Awards

It has its own version of flash built in. You don't have to worry about updating an external install. BUDMAN 1

The security problems are too large. Often updates make it worse. It's just Flash after all and I dont need it. Awards

Nothing makes a browser pout like becoming the un-default. Too bad, so sad, stuff flash up yer arse. Awards

Can you take a screenshot of what you are talking about? And HTML5 might help with the Flash thing on youtube. eidolonFIRE 1

It has the usual check box for 'in the future always do this' for opening or saving. But I dont want either. I want to simply ignore it. In this particular case it is because someone has an swf in the signature and many times when I open a page here I have to cancel it multiple times. Its not a big deal just gets annoying. Awards
