I downloaded version 18 earlier this morning.
I have noticed that in this version there is a very annoying pop up flag that often comes up on the left hand top corner of the screen, when I visit some of my favourite web sites.

"Would you like to activate the plug ins on this page?"
NO I DO NOT!
It then offers a download of Adobe Flash. Even if "Do not notify me again" is selected.....this seems to be ignored, and a little while later this flag comes up again....:banghead:

I wonder whose bright idea to annoy the users this is....

If it wasn't for my add ons, I would have already ditched Firefox...:sad:
