I noticed this morning that FLASH doesn't work anymore in Firefox. Then stories started showing up on facebook and news feeds. Here's one:

Apparently Firefox has disable Flash to protect its users. The above article mentions Cryptowall... that's one baaaaad infection.. maybe the MRSA of the computer world.

This will have an impact on YouTube, which is Flash-based. I'm wondering what other well-known sites are Flash based. Anybody know if StreetJelly is Flash based? (update: it is)

Anyway, heads up. If you aren't using Foxfire, you may want to disable flash. Apparently you don't even have to click on the ads in order to get infected. If Flash is enabled when such an ad is present, then you get whatever it's pushing.
