Deactivate your Flash!

First I said "Update your Flash!" and now even the most current version isn't enough:

• Adobe Flash zero-day exploit in the wild (ZDNet)
• Bug in Flash 9 being exploited by hackers (Intology)

The current (unsecure) version is 9.0.124.0. No update available at this moment.

IMPORTANT UPDATE: 9.0.124.0 isn't vulnerable to this exploit

Mozilla's Add-Ons Site supports Compatibility Ranges again!

In Mozilla's Add-Ons Site redesigned I was a bit disappointed, because I wasn't able to see if my favorite add-ons will still work with Firefox 3 anymore. The redesign removed the information about the compatibility of an add-on.

A minor revision of the add-ons site has now restored this information.

Check it yourself. Visit the NoScript page, scroll down a bit, and there you are:

Works with:

• Firefox: 1.5.0.4 - 3.0pre

Thanks to the AMO development team. Thanks to Paul Kim for the information!
