Adobe Flash, the much-loathed, bug-plagued relic of a browser plugin, just got a big nail driven into its coffin.

I've got a brand new computer running IE and I've never been able to get Flash to work, despite following trouble-shooting instructions.
I can live without Flash.

Somebody’s got to come up with a secure alternative. I know entire companies built on Flash...such as KixEye

Some programs use flash as part of the user interface. It’s a big pain in the arse.

What’s wrong with Flash? Other than there is another update every fifteen minutes.

Adobe requires that you download their latest patch to access this thread.

So those of us who use Flash are SOOL?
There are games my kids play plus some of the webcams I visit use it IIRC. The one in Golden Heart Plaza Fairbanks might be one or that may be Java. No matter, lots of stuff I have used for years just plain doesn’t work.

Chrome has been warning me all day about flash update. Unfortunately, I am on my work laptop and can’t upgrade without involving IT and endless red tape.

It’s called HTML5. Flash is outdated and has been for years.
I have not used flash for over a year.

Have you checked properties to see if the web cam control is approved for remote access?

Yeah, been noticing that since I installed the latest version of FireFox a few days ago. They’re blocking everything that uses adobe flash.

Thank God! That thing has been nothing but a giant pain in the @$$ for ages. Constant computer slowdowns and even outright freezing of the browser.

That means Firefox users will not be able to turn on the plug-in to access Flash content -- they'll have to seek out another browser if they need to use Flash. They must have changed their mind because after a plugin fix, Flash is working on Firefox as of now.

HTML5 might have much more beneath the hood that I am unaware of, but Flash has some awesome abilities that allow it to be used as a massive online gaming system. War Commander was in Flash. I don't know if HTML5 can do all that, but maybe it can. If so, I need to become an HTML5 God.

Some sites don’t work properly without adobe flash especially on android devices.

Constant computer slowdowns and even outright freezing of the browser.
I have Fire Fox and for many months now it will take up to a half hour or more to connect to the internet at start up in the mornings and I get lots of Unresponsive Script Errors that contain a reference to Chrome.
I've reinstalled Fire Fox, I've increased the script run time, and nothing has worked. It's driving me nuts.
As a side note, when I go to a linked website from here to view a video, it takes forever for the video to load...with the exception of Youtube......
I'm still on Windows XP if that makes any difference
To: don-o
I thought the biggest question is...WHY are people still using Firefox: the same browser which ousted the conservative co-founders of the browser after he came out against faggot marriage?

Every time Flash runs my browsers get on their knees and crawl. Garbage Flash.
