Link to "online installer" of portable nightly-52.0a1-32bit: Please use the info posted to further troubleshoot. Nightly testes use it, since it's completely isolated from a normal default Fx installation. Maybe what I post is only related to the PAF installation but many of us

Only creating the pref followed by a browser restart does not "cut" it manual deletion Set its value to "false" and restart Nightly again, I find this is not the case at my setup
Result: A new smaller plugins.dat file is recreated, about:plugins now only listsįlash from the previous NPAPI group (along with OpenH264, Primetime CDM, Widewine CDM).Īnd what if I want to temporarily override this new behaviour?Īs per this bug 1269807, I would have to create a new boolean pref named "plugin.load_flash_only", Delete (or move elsewhere) "old" plugins.dat file from within profile folder.Ĥ.

I am writing this from a portable (PAF) installation of latest Nightly 52.0a1 32bit (build ID 20161008030200), OS is Windows Vista SP2 x86 fully patched I have a plugins.dat file inside I am afraid bug 1307501 did not fix things properly at my end. > Those were both fixed in bug 1307501 for yesterday's nightly. > and existing users who had plugins would keep seeing them. the vulnerabilities are actively exploited in the wild.(In reply to Benjamin Smedberg from comment #44) Mozilla already regularly blocks vulnerable plugins when the threat is large enough, i.e. Unlike Google Chrome though, Firefox will not disable the plugins by default, it will just notify users of the danger. Google Chrome already does this for some old plugins. Keeping them up to date will ensure that you have a great Firefox experience," he added. "Old plugin versions can cause stability problems and are potentially insecure.

"While you are free to ignore the warnings and continue using your old plugins, we strongly recommend that you go to our Plugin Check page and update them as soon as possible," Villalobos also said. There are no details on what the warnings will look like, the precise versions of the plugins that will be targeted, or even on when exactly Mozilla will start issuing these warnings. But this was a voluntary action and few people even knew it was possible, the least of all the people more likely to have outdated plugins. Mozilla has already announced its intention to do this and is now putting the plan in motion.įirefox users have been able to rely on Plugin Check to test whether the plugins they use are up to date. Only the three plugins are targeted and only on the Windows platform. "Old versions of Silverlight, Adobe Reader and Adobe Flash on Windows are covered by this," he said. "Firefox users who have outdated versions of the most popular plugins will soon see a notification urging them to update when they visit a web page that uses them," Mozilla's Jorge Villalobos, who handles add-on developer relations, wrote. The idea is to make it clearer to users that they have unsafe plugins installed, but Mozilla won't force users to do anything and they can ignore the warnings if they want. Mozilla is making good on plans to issue warnings to users running old and vulnerable versions of several plugins.
