Hi,
In SeaMonkey there's an amazing feature where you can "ask to activate".
This can be set with the Adobe Flash plugin, and will prevent the Flash
animation from starting until you tell it to. I think there used to be a
similar feature for animated gifs, and sounds.
However, in 2016, many adverts simply start a video with soundtrack
(e.g. HTML5) and it seems that these can start on their own or via
JavaScript. Is there any way to use "ask to activate" so they will only
start when you tell them to?
The only thing I found that works against HTML5 is Flashblock. You have
to run it through the converter to install it in SeaMonkey, and if you
want to play the HTML5 item, you need to switch it off completely.
Fortunately, it provides a toolbar button you can use to toggle it on or
off.
