Funny. I use Firefox. Flash is not blocked on it.

But yes, Flash died right after it escaped the development lab, leaving a bloody trail of programmers behind it.

Same. I don't have any issues with it.

Last night my FF stopped allowing Flash. Update Flash and the issue goes away.

It does that from time to time. Nothing to see here, move along, move along. . .

With the new version of FireFox, even a tiny update to Flash results in the security warning. Even the build number, the last number group in the version. Eg from 18.0.0.208 to 18.0.0.209. Just update Flash.

We're removing Flash and Java from our desktops tonight but our users will be able to use them via Citrix if needs be. Seems we've got a scattering of products that require one or both Flash and Java.

It's just too hard to click Allow & Remember!
Just use Internet Exploder or Chrome spyware and you won't have to worry. Heh heh heh...

Java is worse than Flash. We have a number of internal applications that need Java, and the wonderful developers tied the apps to a specific version of Java.

So, we can't update desktops in the Ministry every time they release a new version, or it breaks all the internal apps.

Have to work on those sometimes... stuck on Adobe Reader 9, a certain level of Java, IE only with a 5 page book of settings adjustments if you dare upgrade over IE6...
