Why isn't Flash on Mac disabled due to security issues as it is on other OSes?
Flash is currently disabled on Windows and Linux in Firefox due to security issues. But it isn't on OSX, why is that? The page for checking plugin updates does mention all versions of Flash are currently vulnerable, so there seems to be a reason to block it also on OSX.

that's what i'm seeing as well but in the background the current blocklist is getting downloaded and applied.

hi, the blocking of flash in firefox applies to os x as well. it takes up to a day until a blocklist entry filters down to all installations...
Is there a possibility to manually update the blocklist?
yes, that's described at https://wiki.mozilla.org/Blocklisting/Testing#Forcing_a_Blocklist_Ping
The mentioned command returns 'undefined' in the browser console
