Just got a warning from my browser (Mozilla Firefox) that it had blocked Adobe Flash.
 This is likely to last until there is a satisfactory fix.

I just installed the version 18.0.0.209 , that was released today, as a result of the problems.

Thank you for your heads up with this issue !

Think I'll wait awhile before updating, just to be on the safe side..

I in going to keep adobe flash off and see how long I can last without it!

Keep in mind you cannot play existing Flash video's without Flash. They keep the codes secret..

So? Youtube no longer uses flash,
So doesnt Facebook, OneDrive, OutLook, Reddit and so many more I cant think of!

As I understand it FFx has blocked Flash by default so if you choose to you can still have FFx with Flash, or you could, you know, switch to a decent browser.
