Ad block is a blacklist (you ad stuff you want blocked).
Flashblock is a whitelist (blocks all flash, you add things you will let
run).
I personally prefer the latter.

NoScript is also very useful.

BTW, in FF3 (on a Mac) the block menu item appears to be missing from
mousing over the flash (it's available in FF2). Does anyone know about
this?

Tis better to have test ridden and lost, than to never have test ridden at all.
