Mozilla Kills Adobe Flash On Firefox, Disables It By Default

Now here is an interesting piece of news for all the tech (aka Flash hating) enthusiasts out there.

Unless you have been disconnected from the Internet for the last week or so, then the Hacking Team / Adobe Flash exploit leaks should be pretty known to you. Now, according to various reports, people are starting to see Flash disabled by default with the following pop-up displayed at the top of the page:

Firefox has prevent the unsafe plugin “Adobe Flash” from running on www.domain.com.

In addition to that, if you visit Mozilla’s “Check Your Plugins” page, it will inform you that all versions of Adobe’s Flash Player plugin are currently vulnerable.

In case you are not one of the lucky ones to get it disabled by default, you can force your browser to update the blacklist and see if that helps.
