Mozilla has blocked all versions of Adobe’s Flash software on the Firefox web browser due to recent unearthed bugs being utilised by cyber-thieves.
On its support pages, Mozilla said the block would remain until “Adobe releases an updated version to address known critical security issues”.
Mozilla also gave advice about how to adjust Firefox’s settings so Flash would only run with the permission of a browser’s user rather than all the time. It said users should only activate Flash on sites they trust. Firefox is the third most popular desktop browsing program, according to figures gathered by analysis firms that monitor browser market share.
The block comes soon after Facebook’s newly appointed security chief Alex Stamos publicly called for Adobe to kill off Flash.
“It is time for Adobe to announce the end-of-life date for Flash and to ask the browsers to set killbits on the same day,” he said in a tweet.
