“I’ve had flash turned “off” for quite some time.
Very few sites really need it.
Youtube is one, unfortunately.”
I’ve had Adobe Flash shut off by Fire Fox for several weeks. now. It says it is a security threat. What Firefox plug-in/add on do you use for viewing Youtube?
Check out this link. The html5 switch isn’t a permanent change - you can revert if needed. I’ve been using it for a bout a week now with fewer flash crashes (there are some you-toob videos that still use flash).

I just turn on flash with YT, and off elsewhere.
I’m sure there are more sophisticated ways to do it.
