OK, so we're sick of stinking Flash eh? HTML5 is the upcoming standard and there are two ways to achieve this in Firefox/Iceweasel.

The quick and easy way:


========= SCRAPER REMOVED AN EMBEDDED LINK HERE ===========
url was:"https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/youtube-all-html5/"
linktext was:"https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefo ... all-html5/"
====================================


The about:config way:

Code: Select all

about:config Name: media.fragmented-mp4.enabled

Modified Value: true

about:config Name: media.fragmented-mp4.exposed

Modified Value: true

about:config Name: media.fragmented-mp4.ffmpeg.enabled

Modified Value: true

about:config Name: media.fragmented-mp4.gmp.enabled

Modified Value: true

about:config Name: media.fragmented-mp4.use-blank-decoder

Modified Value: 'false
I'm not sure how well the second one works, cos I used the plugin.

Mozilla blocks Flash by default on Firefox browser

====================================

Adobe's Flash software is now blocked by default on all versions of the Firefox web browser.

Mozilla, which develops Firefox, imposed the block because recently unearthed bugs in Flash were being actively used by cyber-thieves.

The bugs were detailed in a cache of documents stolen from security firm Hacking Team that was hit by attackers last week.

Adobe said it took Flash's security"seriously" and was planning bug fixes.

Yeah, Java script on sites are still rendered by Firefox. What a joke.

That should be the other way around surely(?!).

Edit: As in red = danger/enabled
green = go(or OK)/disabled
