Since PPC Macs like mine [G5 dual 2ghz running Tiger] cannot upgrade to newer versions of Flash or Firefox, why not provide a more secure version of the plug-in for these versions so they can still be used? It's unconscionable to orphan your products to either insecure plugins or to unusability

You are running a 3rd party build, it isn't created by Mozilla.
Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; PPC Mac OS X 10.4; rv:7.0b1) Gecko/20110903 Firefox/7.0b1 TenFourFox/G5

The creators of tenforfox are responsible for disabling certain Plugins.

Along with the fact that Mozilla doesn't make the plugins for Firefox and 3rd party versions.

My question challenges Mozilla to fix the problem for its users. You guys write more than just Composer code, don't you?!
