Mozilla To Protect Adobe Flash Users

Posted by Soulskill on from the helping-those-who-don't-help-themselves dept.

juct writes "Beginning with versions 3.5.3 and 3.0.14 of Firefox, Mozilla is going to check the version of installed Adobe Flash plug-ins and warn users if it discovers an outdated version with potential security holes. Mozilla confirmed this new security feature and said that the Flash version check was part of a wider commitment to 'protect users from emerging threats online.' Just recently, a study confirmed that 80 per cent of users surf with a vulnerable version of Adobe's plug-in."

    Big deal. At least that's legal. I like porn starring 15-year-old men and women, and for some reason I'm in jail? (shaking head). Illogical.
