Adobe Flash Player runs a particularly repulsive ad repeatedly on the right side of my YA screen. Is there a way to cancel or opt out of a particular ad without inviting its host to annoy me even more?
Ads on YA are okay; they have to pay their bills, but when an ad is constant, very annoying, and outside of anything we'd ever be interested in, there should be a way to stop it.

Use Adblock Plus to hide it.

I used to allow ads as well with the mindset that as Yahoo were providing a site which was free to use that the least I could do is keep ads visible.
However I reached my limit last year when they started with noises, with filling entire pages, with in-line question ads and then finally when Yahoo allowed ads with malware. After that I installed adblockplus on my main browser and to be honest I haven't looked back.
If you have installed that already and it doesn't work (make sure it was the plus version and not just adblock) then also install this one https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/flashblock/ and it should stop the Flash player as well.
