New Firefox versions will make you activate all new add-ons – except Flash

[tangor]

Mozilla is excluding Flash from a more general clamp-down on the enablement of browser add-ons with the latest edition of Firefox.

Firefox’s click-to-activate plugin whitelist, introduced in September 2013, has been removed.

This means that users will have to proactively enable add-ons while surfing using Firefox 47.0 beta and subsequent releases, with the single exception of Flash.

If I have to click "okay" or other rubbish just to surf the web I might get a little ticked at this.

They're building in some of the NoScript functionality into the browser. I like it. I'd rather have that built in than to have to rely on a 3rd party plug-in.
