I've been using FF exclusively for a number of years now, and am having an issue that is bothersome lately. The Shockwave Flash player plugin is causing the browser to slow considerably.

To deal with it, I've disabled the plugin, and noticed that the speed of the browser returned.

Now, is there a toolbar toggle I could use to turn it on and off as needed, or am I screwed with having to opening the FF control, add-ons, locating the program and disabling it that way?

This problem wasn't present a few years ago, but seems to have migrated from a glitch to a full on issue since then. I don't know the version number, but it was just updated, and I'm running Windows 8
