When using firefox I'm repeatedly confronted by a popup asking if I want to install flash (usually to view some advertising). This must happen dozens of times a day.
I think you may be able to install the flashblock plugin, even without flash installed, and put an end to the flash-related parts of the page (which may include the install what you haven't got parts).
Give it a try, and let us know. I have installed flash, long ago, so I can't recall the behaviour beforehand.
