 Hello,

 I have been using the Tor Browser Bundle for some time now, and have
 noticed something that could use a change. When visiting a website with
 flash content, the browser actually suggests that the user installs the
 flash plugin. For example, youtube. Next to the url, a little bit to the
 left, appears a small icon indicating that there is a plugin to install.
 Someone who is not very computer/privacy savvy might fall into the trap.
 The Tor Browser should prevent the suggestion of installing plugins.

 I hope you can improve it to prevent anyone from installing plugins from a
 website that merely suggests it. Flash is not the only "bad plugin" that a
 website might suggest.
