The file location of the userContent.css will be different for other browsers: try <tt>$HOME/.galeon/mozilla/galeon/chrome</tt> or <tt>$HOME/.mozilla/default/''salt''/chrome/userContent.css</tt>.
Next, copy the [ clickToView.xml | http://www.wlug.org.nz/archive/software/clickToView.xml ] file into the "res" subdirectory of the directory where firefox is installed. The command "which firefox" can help determine the directory where firefox is installed, and root may be needed to install the xml file. The xml file comments also give directions for installing clickToView, including hints for Windows OS users.

+Any Flash and Java content will be replaced by a button, and if you click the button it will start the animation. Sometimes flash content covers other content and then shrinks to reveal the real page content. To help manage this, the button is translucent (until you put the cursor over the button) to show what is under it. There is also an X button inside that deletes the click-to-view button without playing (this capability was added on 9/21/06).
clickToView.xml really should be in the chrome directory with userContent.css, but this is not yet supported. Eventually, "profile:///chrome" may be available to replace "resource:///res". And "file:///" will not work here. Keeping a copy of clickToView.xml in the chrome directory is a good idea anyway, and you may want to use a symlink to the xml file in chrome from the res directory.
It is possible to load the clickToView.xml from the web instead of installing a local copy, but this can be slow and the xml file may not always be available or may be modified without your knowing. Use a local xml file if you can, but if necessary the file can be loaded from the web by replacing the moz-binding line with this:
<verbatim>
{ -moz-binding: url("http://www.wlug.org.nz/archive/software/clickToView.xml#flash"); }

-There is also a Firefox extension called ~FlashBlock to block Flash, although it only works for recent versions of Firefox 1.4 or 1.5
