ClearClick vs. ask-to-activate plugin overlay

The development version of Firefox has the option to mark plugins as "Ask to activate". This places a transparent overlay on the plugin area and adds a activation button in the center and a close button in the upper right corner. Clicking on this area trips NoScript's clickjacking/ui-redressing detection.

If possible, it would be nice if NoScript somehow took care of this automatically, so that I wouldn't have to go around adding exceptions to every video hosting site.

browser: firefox 24 alpha with flash plugin set to 'ask to activate'
url: any youtube url (flash video), for example; any plugin that's set to 'ask to activate'
clickjack report number: did you read my post, or just skimmed the title for keywords?

Does it also happen in FF21?

There is no "report" button?

FF21 does not yet have the 'ask to activate' plugin option, so not it cannot happen.
I know there is a report button, but I thought it would not be a smart idea to click that. Should I? Wouldn't that report a false positive?

That is the idea :-).

FF21 does have plugins.click_to_play, though I wasn't able to duplicate the CC by enabling it.
