Firefox has prevented an outdated plugin 'adobe flash' from running. This didn't start until the latest Firefox release, and I don't use M$Winblows. Linux only

I just started started seeing this after the latest firefox release. I see it on M$Winblows at work, Linux and Mac at home, so it isn't activex related for me. I can't upgrade Flash for Linux since Adobe stopped supporting it, but I haven't had any issues up until the last week. And as far as Mac and Windows, they are up to date in patches. Once again engineers just love to make things better. If there was a better alternitive to Firefox I'd use it.

The outdated Flash plugins is not due to any Firefox version or updates but due to a blocklist of vulnerable Flash plugins made on Dec 11/12. The Firefox 31.3.0esr and 34 were released on December 1st and the updated Flash came out on Dec 9.

For Windows and Mac 16.0.0.235, 13.0.0.259 ESR and 15.0.0.246 are not vulnerable according to Adobe and are not on blocklist.

For Linux the Flash 11.2.202.425 is not vulnerable according to Adobe and is not on blocklist while 11.2.202.424 and older is. Adobe is still supporting the Flash 11.2 with security fixes.

Get choice of 16.0.0.235 or 13.0.0.259 ESR for Windows/Mac and the 11.2.202.425 for Linux at https://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html
