Is this just preventing auto-loading (like "click to play") or completely disable Flash for non-http(s) contents?

Can users get back old behavior by flipping a preference?

We have developed a Firefox based tool to edit/view local EPub files, which may contain Flash.

If this feature can't be opt-out , we and our customs will be in trouble.

I understand and appreciate the trend of web without plugins, but we and our customs just have too many Flash assets.

Thanks.

I intend to ship a change which will prevent Flash from loading from file:,
ftp:, or any other URL scheme other than http: or https:.  The purpose of
this change is to increase security and limit Flash to well-tested
configuraitons.


    - file: same-origin security mechanism is different, and so there have
    been problems in the past with Flash content bypassing normal controls.
    - Flash is normally not tested with ftp: or other protocols, and we've
    had security issues in the past as a result of interactions between Flash
    and these sites.

I am not yet sure whether we will be able to prevent Flash from loading in
data: contexts or not. I'd like to, but it may not be possible without
breaking existing content.
