If you mean the:
"Would you like to install the plugin needed to display the media on 
this page?"

notification, you can stop it from appearing again by setting 
plugins.notifyMissingFlash to false in about:config in Firefox.

This will stop it from appearing again but the icon in the Firefox 
urlbar will still appear, to disable that icon too set 
plugins.hideMissingPluginsNotification to true. Note that this pref 
affects flash, java and quicktime plugins notifications.
