Hi The fact that there is a security issue in flash is not new, in fact they are security issue with almost all technology all the time, the real issue us the speed that these issue are fixed
There are those in the industry that would like to see the end of flash, long live HTML5, this is IMHO an agenda driven by $ and Power and has little to do with technology, maybe the upside of all this would be Adobe giving flash player (will never happene) to Apache foundation am move Adobe should have made 4 years go, a move that has more to do with $ and Power ( Adobe we own the world) As for developer this is still a hard problem, Flash is a bit like supporting Arsenal when the world is behind Chelsea or Man U, we all know Arsenal is the best team in the world, it is just the rest of the world are looking at glamour team If you want to be safe code, in HTML5, no frame works, no extension, no Anglia JS as these will all come and go, you life will be simpler but you life will not be worth living Scott On 7/15/15, 9:17 AM, "Nigel Hillier" <nigel555...@hotmail.com> wrote: >http://www.ketv.com/money/firefox-blocks-flash-and-facebook-calls-for-its-de >ath/34154590 > >If I uninstall flash from my dev machine to protect it .....
