I use flashblock.  It's not a popular extension (and I have NO idea
why!)  The video does not run... you just get the circular "f" symbol
and when you mouse over it the symbol becomes a "run" button.  You
can also whitelist sites that are allowed to execute flash automatically.

Flashblock is always the first extension I download when installing
Firefox.
