I could imagine many reasons to block flash from pages. Just like java and javascript. These things execute code from other people's websites on your computer. I would only want to allow such scripting engines to run code from known and trusted websites. There is a Firefox plug-in called noscript that allows you to allow javascript to run from only those sites you permit. Things are much more secure that way. I believe most of the computer hackery of late comes from mal where using the java runtime on your computer and also flash. Look at how many security updates had to be made to flash over the years. Frankly, between the security holes and accessibility problems with flash, that parasite should be removed from all our computers! They already gave up on mobile devices so let's get it out of our computers too; I'm all for that.
