Hi Chris,

     Firefox flags the out-of-date Flash plugin as a security hazard.

Hi Yasha,

     I do not know if this will help at all, but I install
the "You Tube All HTLM5" extension on all my customer's machines to
get them off of Flash as much as possible:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/youtube-all-html5

    It is also faster at rendering than Flash is.  Well at least
it corrects a lot of lag problems on You Tube (problem
may be You Tube, not Flash).

    Also, because iOS (iPhone, iPad, etc.) does not support Flash,
it seriously behooves your clients to switch to HTML5 (I do recommend
this to my clients).
