Just read on BBC news that Firefox has blocked Adobe Flash Player due to hackers. I have noticed for the past couple of days that I keep getting messages saying that Firefox has blocked Adobe Flash Player from running. I did manage to get it to update but then I saw the message again.

Not half as much as Adobe's woefully written offerings, roll on HTML 5.
The icing on the cake, font parsing in the Kernel:

However this is really a fundamental design flaw in Windows to do font parsing in Kernel space.Science isn't exact, it's only confidence within limits.0 -
Ah so this is what's been going on, I update flash and 2 days later Firefox doesn't like it, rinse/repeat, it's been going on for several weeks now.“I may not agree with you, but I will defend to the death your right to make an a** of yourself.”

Thank you.
I thought my lappy was getting too old to cope with the new software.0 -
I got the block this morning for the first time.
There are a number of games on Facebook that will not load on Firefox, I have to go to IE to play.0 -
My computer is running so much faster since Firefox starting blocking Flash, I love it.
I also have stopped getting the flash has crashed message all of the time now.
Go Mozilla!0 -
Can anyone recommend an alternative Flash player plug-in for Firefox?

i have been noticing this, you have to allow the adobe to run which is annoying if you are on a site with flash like videos, it's just a pita.
I think it has pushed me to using chrome more now.0 -
The new update is out. Update the plug-in to the latest version. FF now accepting it.Drinking Rum before 10am makes you
