I think it's firefox add-on ad block

I think it blocks simple ads like free forums have...but also gives you the option of blocking ads with a clear tab next to flash objects

so like Myspace ads would not be blocked automatically because they are flash

Yeap. It's called "Flash Block"

Uninstall AdBlock (or disable filtering for this site) :|

No, really. The ads are here for a reason, to help pay for the site and it's only temporary. If you adblock them, this site will lose money...

Ad-block prevents an advertisement from loading.
The advertisements pay based off of how many times it's loaded.

So yeah, it does make them lose some money...
