Killing flash pop-ups

Seen on Slashdot: about those pop-ups that even ad-block doesn't kill - they come from flash.
To stop them, and return to a 100% popup free life, just do the following:
      1. Type about:config into the Firefox location bar.
      2. Right-click on the page and select New and then Integer.
      3. Name it privacy.popups.disable_from_plugins
      4. Set the value to 2.
The possible values are:
        * 0: Allow all popups from plugins.
        * 1: Allow popups, but limit them to dom.popup_maximum.
        * 2: Block popups from plugins.
        * 3: Block popups from plugins, even on whitelisted sites.
