Adobe Flash blocked in Firefox - jukeboxes and flash player affected

Adobe Flash is currently being blocked in Firefox due to known vulnerabilities in Flash. Mozilla, which develops Firefox, imposed the block because recently unearthed bugs in Flash were being actively used by cyber-thieves.

This means that our jukeboxes will not work and the flash version of our MP3 player won't work either. When you try to use one of these players, a warning message may appear stating that Firefox has blocked the unsafe plug-in, and you'll see two buttons - "Continue blocking" and "Allow". If you click "Allow", our players should work but you'd be taking a big risk. I'd advise clicking "Continue blocking" instead. Adobe is reportedly working on a fix for Flash which should be available soon. Once the fix is installed, Firefox should no longer block Flash and our players will be back to normal.

Or you might see a message like this:



I recommend that you do not click the "Activate Adobe Flash" link because doing so would make your system vulnerable.

The HTML5 player is not affected by this and continues to work normally. So individual song attachments will play just fine for most people. However, songs hosted offsite won't work because they use the Flash player. All of our jukeboxes also use the flash player, so they won't work until Adobe fixes this Flash bug.

Just saw this both Mozilla and Google are dropping default support for flash and
facebook is calling for an end of life to the troublesome plugin.
