Severity: wishlist

Hi,

New since Iceweasel 17 ESR series is a modal popup dialog
anchored around the address bar favicon area, prompting me
to install the non-free Adobe Flash plugin when the website
I visit tries to use it.

It can be suppressed with a couple of mouseclicks, but I think
this is a nuisance, as well as not being in the spirit of FSF
principles since it is pushing non-free software.  Please consider
disabling it by default.

I think this is controlled by plugins.notifyMissingFlash

Thanks.
