[PLUG] Turning off Firefox "your Adobe Flash player is insecure" nag

About 4 times a year, a new insecurity is discovered in Adobe Flash
player, and Firefox demands an update.  Until that happens, every
flash video requires a click to enable it.  The big problem is,
even if the flash player is automatically updated by the distro,
~/.mozilla/pluginreg.dat doesn't get rebuilt by Firefox, so it 
keeps complaining even after the update.  

Is there any way to turn off the nag?  I make presentations with
embedded flash, and it really sucks to have the nags show up in
front of an audience.
