Mozilla blocked Flash by default in its Firefox browser late Monday night, a day after Facebook's (FB, Tech30) security chief called for Adobe to kill Flash once and for all.
The Flash-bashing picked up last week after revelations that the spyware giant known as the Hacking Team had been using Flash to remotely take over people's computers and infect them with malware. (That discovery took place after the Hacking Team was itself hacked. Documents revealed in the breach showed that the Hacking Team exploited two critical vulnerabilities in Flash's code.)
"It is time for Adobe to announce the end-of-life date for Flash," tweeted Facebook security chief Alex Stamos on Sunday.
Mozilla's support chief Mark Schmidt quickly followed suit by tweeting that all versions of Flash had been turned off in Firefox.

The desktop computer I was using has 2GB of RAM and it still came up with that flash player not responding or something.
Laz, you played War Commander?
I did until the whole Thorium thing came out.
God, my girlfriend was jealous of RUBI. Didn’t help I was in the office yelling “Hit it! Hit it! Hit it!”
There was 4GB RAM on my MacBook Pro when I bought it, and over time it had gotten slow. The laptop is from late 2011, and only allows 8GB total, so I had my son get what was needed to add the extra 4GB RAM. The laptop is working so much faster now.
“I would point out that XP is pretty old and a lot of newer stuff is likely to run slowly on it.”
Microsoft no longer supports or updates XP. They urge you to abandon it and move on to something more recent. A lot of websites no longer function properly with it.
I watch the lens being covered up on the display while I cover it.
As a side note, thinking maybe it was running too hot, I opened it up and vacuumed out the inside and the cooling fans. Wow, you wouldn’t believe the amount of caked on dust it had accumulated over the years.........kinda looks like the rest of my house. LOL!
Maybe because we don't let politics consume and dictate every single aspect of our lives.......
Flash is just plain crappy code. It reminds me of the old Windows ME edition. Horrible.
I’m not much in to computers either but how can a RAM memory chip become slow? I remember my brother telling me to sometimes remove and reinsert my drive and memory chips (I have a laptop) in order to clean the contacts.
Just had shockwave crash when I was at Amazon a few minutes ago - pc just locked up.
I did. I was in WU clan, The Rowdys, in Sector 388.
I stopped playing when they started coming up with unique units and the repair times became insane. It went from a non-payers-can-play to a pay-if-you-want-to-do-well game.
I also got sick of them nerfing units all the time. Every time you’d get a decent unit, they wouldn’t even give you the time to level-max it before it was obsolete. The newest unit made the last one useless.
After a while I started feeling like such a monkey boy. Then I realized I had spent 1000 on it over the year, and I said, WHAT AM I DOING???
I just bought a few standalone games and I was much less frustrated, and had a lot more money.
Kixeye killed this particular goose.
My son said the slowness was probably due to my using multiple application programs simultaneously. Some use more memory than others. All I know is that since he put the extra 4GB RAM in it, it’s working like a new machine again.
The end? I hope so!!
That makes sense. I bought my laptop with as much RAM as I could get because of flight programs I need much of which is animated.
Cannot stand Flash. It was cool back around 2003, but it is just one plugin piled on top of others that just eats CPU cycles and battery life.
If only they could resurrect Minions. Now that was fun.
You may have a faulty add-on. To see if that's the case, open the Add-ons Manager and disable them all. If that fixes your problem, then go back to the add-ons page and selectively re-enable them until you discover which one is causing the problem.
BTW, "chrome" in this context refers to the user interface elements of the Firefox browser (menus and toolbars, etc., standing outside of the content window), not to the Chrome browser.
Yep it’s an embarrassment to the industry that it’s been tolerated this long. Good riddance.
BTW if you used RUBI a lot, you missed about 80% of the game.
The key was how you employed your units.
I was taking level 45 players down with only a bunch of souped up megas and a Titan and I was only lev 37.
