However, Google does limit Flash’s interaction with the rest of the browser via a security sandbox. Google’s Chrome, for example, has not disabled its integrated Flash plugin that remained at version 18.0.0.203 at this writing. The fact that Mozilla chose user security over a more polished experience is significant and sets it apart from competing third-party browsers. Nevertheless, Flash is still very present on the web and not having this functionality may degrade the web browsing experience for some Firefox users.
Why this matters: Once the de facto standard for web video and animations, Adobe Flash is slowly losing favor to HTML5-based video capability built-in to modern browsers. Among that data were the Flash exploits as well as other previously unknown exploits in Windows and the Linux, according to reports. It will be many years before Flash finally undergoes its extremely slow death, and for the time being it's still a good idea to have a working (and up to date) Flash setup going.Earlier in July, hackers breached the systems of Italy-based Hacking Team and published 400GB worth of the company’s data online. Try it if you want, but remember I warned you.Īlthough I still prefer HTML5 over Flash, I have to admit that there are still plenty of websites that use Flash. Once that's done, you should be good to go! At time of writing, hardware acceleration still doesn't work, but it could very well be fixed soon. Now, you should be able to use the newer Flash in your favorite browser! If you also have the older Flash installed, it's a good idea to uninstall it or find a way to disable it in your browser.
