BB1950 Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 (edited) Old news. Since Flash Player is always vulnerable, you always check to see if you have the very latest version installed. Edited January 24, 2015 by BB1950 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KhunBENQ Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 (edited) Already been addressed. Upgrade to 16.0.0.287 Until next week. Irony? I studied a couple of reports and they write about TWO security leaks of which one is fixed with 16.0.0.287. But a fix for a second one will be available "next week". The reports STILL advise to deactivate flash player or setup for "activate on demand". BTW: for youtube I have long switched to the HTML5 player which seems to be available for most of the videos. http://www.youtube.com/html5 (no full HD 1080p so far, but I don't feel the need for) Edited January 25, 2015 by KhunBENQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IMHO Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 http://www.youtube.com/html5 (no full HD 1080p so far, but I don't feel the need for) Sure the HTML5 player supports 1080P.. it even supports 4K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunBENQ Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 (edited) So I was fooled by Google/youtube so far. There is (was) a limitation for the Firefox browser. Seems possible to be removed: http://www.ghacks.net/2014/07/30/play-1080p-videos-youtube-firefox/ EDIT: didn't work. Forced to use Chrome to combine 1080p and HTML5 Edited January 25, 2015 by KhunBENQ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
