User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:9.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/9.0 Build ID: 20111206234556 Steps to reproduce: Firefox Mobile Native for Android now supports Flash, but there is no preference setting to disable Flash (even though there is a setting to enable/disable Javascript). Actual results: There is no easy way to disable Flash. While many people were asking for Flash, many others may not want it. And some phones include a factory version already, meaning that Flash can't be (easily) uninstalled. Expected results: There should be a preference setting item for enabling/disabling Flash, similar to how Opera Mobile does it.
I believe bug 708464 will be incorporating that functionality.

Actually, bug 702653 is what's going to add this functionality. In the mean time, you can flip plugin.disable in about:config.
