kaled, much as I agree with your dislike of most flash, what Firefox did was decide to not cater to individual likes and dislikes, and put out a fairly lean browser. Obviously their idea worked. They decided to allow minority user requirements to be handled by extensions, which was I think a good decision.

If you NEVER want to see flash, then just create the following adblock extension rule:

[*.swf...]

and you will NEVER see a swf file. Pretty simple. Keep in mind that Firefox is not a windows browser, many of the core developers don't even use Windows primarily if I remember right.
