Finally Got Flash Blocker for Firefox, Again

[roo_ster]

I did so after I upgraded Flash from whatever to the latest.  All it did was increase Flash's nagging ability and obnoxiousness beyond what I could tolerate.

Maybe Jobs has the right idea, after all.

I have a flash blocker as well: Firefox 64bit. :)

I have to keep IE32 around for those sites I need to access, but which put their content in flash.

Believe me, it's not often I get to say this: works fine in Linux

I've not tried Flash Blocker but I do use NoScript which blocks flash and javascript among other things. I love it and its pretty easy to allow the bare minimum for most sites to function(on a site by site basis).

Huh.  I had looked for an x64 Firefox, but did not see it mentioned on their web site.  Just found it with some Googling though.  I will see how I likes it.

I do believe Adobe killed the 64bit linux version of Flash recently.

Did not know about x64 Firefox till now. Hokey smokes am I imagining things, or is it blazingly fast?

[Perd Hapley]

It's faster for me, even though my motherboard limits me to about 3.5 GB.  I had already started using K-Meleon for Flash-type stuff (streaming content), so I could get used to this.

Seems to make Hulu/Pandora run lighter in the K-Meleon browser, too.

Hmm. I installed last night and got a security update notice this morning. When I tried to install, I got a "you do not have privileges" message. Anyone else run into this? I suppose the workaround is to just get the latest build off the website, unless there's a setting somewhere in the Beta that I can change.

[Perd Hapley]

Security update from where?  From Microsoft?  From your anti-virus? 

[Ben]

Mozilla.

I'd like to use the 64-bit and 32-bit Firefox side by side, but the Namoroka has replaced it.

Not exactly.  They closed the 10.1 beta for Linux for "architectural changes," but you can still download it, install it, etc as usual.  Sounds like they plan on re-doing it from scratch and don't want to deal with running a beta at the same time.
