Announcement: We are moving to a rapid beta release cycle using "Background Update". We encourage you to subscribe so you can get the latest and the greatest Flash Player without a single mouse click.Like I or any other sane user are going to allow Adobe to silently install beta versions of Flash Player into my computer without my approval and explicit authorization each time?
Seriously? I mean no offense to -you- of course, just sayin', Adobe does not have the complete trust of any sane person at present.
In any case, I don't think I can in good conscience tell my fellow FReepers to download quick-turn beta-grade software from Adobe. I'll stick with "uninstall Flash until further notice" and wait for Adobe to make a formal release on their regular page.
Nobody I know needs Flash that bad that they'd run a beta version today.
To be completely candid, I don’t know if I’d run a Beta version right now from ANYBODY without a ton of crosschecking and consideration.
....and Adobe????
Don’t make me laugh. I’m not real certain that bunch could even spell “security” correctly more than once every six or seven stabs at the deal.
Rapid release has killed a lot of Firefox.
Many developers of extensions/add-ons quit updating because it was too much.
Rapid release must have something to do with job security, because such releases cause more problems than they resolve. Firefox comes out with a new release. Within a week or so, they come out with .1 update. Then, .2 update. Then a new release.
