Stop Firefox blocking outdated plugins - Flash
On a corporate network, it not always possible to keep versions of Flash updated 100% of the time, therefore it would be very helpful not to have firefox blocking plugins which adobe have declared as 'vulnerable'.
The only way iv managed to get this disabled was to set the blacklist feature to false, meaning that all plugins and extensions were allowed, which is a little overkill... id just like flash to be less pesky !
Any Ideas?

hi aaron, especially when you cannot always update the flash plugin in time, setting the vulnerable plugins to be activated only on demand is an additional layer of protection for your corporate network. unfortunately i also don't know of any other way of circumventing that than setting "extensions.blocklist.enabled" to false. maybe it would be useful to have a more fine grained control over the functionality and to be able to select between malicious addons, crashy graphic drivers and vulnerable plugins separately. please either use https://input.mozilla.org/feedback for general feedback or if you feel that it's a missing feature in the browser you could file an enhancement bug at bugzilla.mozilla.org.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/blocked/ Flash Player Plugin 14.0 to 15.0.0.242 (click-to-play) Flash Player Plugin 10.3.183.66 to 13.0.0.258 (click-to-play)
So for Windows this means versions since 16.0.0.235, 13.0.0.259 ESR and 15.0.0.246 are not on blocklist including the recent 16.0.0.257 and 13.0.0.260 ESR that Adobe released on Jan 13.
