I just prefer the direct installers without any third party nonsense per my link at the top. |

Whatever works for the user, providing there is sufficent warning & that's it's an Adobe Link, works for me. Pick your poison  |

And they STILL haven't fixed the problem with Flash stealing focus from the Firefox window. It seems that the brilliant developers at Adobe coded a hack to put focus back on Firefox, but there's still a split-second where it's gone. |

Release Announcement @ Adobe forums: quote:
Today we're pleased to announce that the next version of Flash Player, 11.4.402.265, is available for immediate download. This update includes the following new features:
•Concurrency (ActionScript Workers) - This feature enable developers to off-load certain tasks like high-latency operations and long-running computations to workers. These background workers run concurrently in order to leverage more machine resources and avoid things like UI freezes and allow content to be more responsive.
• Stage3D constrained mode -A new parameter to Context3D has been introduced called "constrained profile". Constrained profile allows Stage3D content to run hardware accelerated on more hardware, especially the Intel GMA chipsets. The Starling framework has been updated to be constrained mode ready.
• StageVideo.attachCamera - Provides webcam support for StageVideo. This allows developers to leverage GPU acceleration to render webcam video streams.
• Camera.copyToByteArray/Camera.copyToVector - Allow efficient copy of the video frames pixels to an existing ByteArray or Vector.
• LZMA support for ByteArray - In addition to zlib compression of ByteArray, we are introducing an additional compression type based on LZMA to compress data inside a ByteArray through ByteArray.compress() and ByteArray.uncompress().
For further information please see our Release Notes.

Any news on when Google will be releasing an update with the new version for Chrome?
It updated today..called 11.3.31.230 for Windows if you have Chrome and new version of Chrome itself is called 21.0.1180.83 m » googlechromereleases.blo ··· -os.htmlThe flash in a sandbox » en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SeccompUpdates are available for Windows, Mac, Linux and Android platforms. Windows and Mac users will need to update to v. 11.4.402.265 (Linux and Android should users see the advisory for their version numbers). The Flash Player installed with Google Chrome should automatically be updated to the latest Google Chrome version, which will include Adobe Flash Player v. 11.3.31.230 for Windows and Linux, and Flash Player v. 11.4.402.265 for Macintosh. When I composed this post, however, the installation of Chrome on my Mac had not yet updated to the new version Google began pushing out today (a restart of the browser fixed that). » krebsonsecurity.com/tag/ ··· -31-230/Only chrome user complaint so far seems to be this one for the guys flash.. |

Until Flash is written to be stable, this is going to be a weekly (or daily) chore to keeping it updated  . |

I've said time and time again that when Adobe added sandboxing to Flash in the late 11.2 and 11.3 versions is when all these problems arose plus who knows what else they changed. While the idea is sound, all these issues are proving it's not worth it and they should remove it. |

Not really. Do what I do, only update to a newer version if it contains security fixes. If your old version works well and the new version does not contain any security fixes DO NOT UPDATE!!!!! Until this past update I was still using 11.3.300.262 since the other 11.3 version were bug fixes only. |

I guess also if you have a recent and not very old one..you could also pass up the security fixes since they now claim the following and sometimes it is hard to find new versions that work as well as the last one you currently have installed. June 7, 2012
Overall, the Flash Player sandbox process has been a journey of incremental improvements with each step bringing end-users a more secure environment. We started by supporting Protected Mode within Internet Explorer, which enabled Flash Player to run as a low integrity process with limited write capabilities. From there, we worked with Google on building the Chrome sandbox, which converted Flash Player to using a more robust broker implementation. This release of Flash Player Protected Mode for Firefox on Windows takes the Chrome implementation one step further by changing Flash Player to run with job limits on the process. With Flash Player Protected Mode being based on the same technology as Adobe Reader X, we are confident that this implementation will be a significant barrier and help prevent exploits via Flash Player for Firefox users. Going forward, we plan to continue to build on this infrastructure with more sandbox projects, such as our upcoming release of Flash Player for Chrome Pepper. As we combine these efforts with other efforts, such as the background updater, we are making it increasingly more difficult for Flash Player to be targeted for malicious purposes.
»blogs.adobe.com/asset/20 ··· fox.html Older info.. "Running the plugin in a sandbox, otherwise known as protected mode, will potentially reduce the seriousness of any code vulnerabilities by isolating it from the system. 'Sandboxing technology has proven very effective in protecting users by increasing the cost and complexity of authoring effective exploits,' said Peleus Uhley, senior security researcher for Adobe. 'For example, since its launch in November 2010, we have not seen a single successful exploit in the wild against Adobe Reader X. We hope to see similar results with the Flash Player sandbox for Firefox once the final version is released later this year.' This usually applies to Firefox 4.0 or later versions running on Windows 7 or Vista." |

said by Name Game:'Sandboxing technology has proven very effective in protecting users by increasing the cost and complexity of authoring effective exploits,' said Peleus Uhley, senior security researcher for Adobe. It looks like they (and BTW, many others too) become liking the new buzzword - "sandboxing". First, they (Adobe) started using different tricks to get to direct API calls, that allow modification (reading / writing) objects in computer (files, registry, etc). And then, when people discovered that those direct calls may do real harm to their systems, they (Adobe) started to talk about making a "protection layer" (sandbox), that presumably isolates system from those direct calls, made by their plugins / activeX components... See, how fun it is?  Why we see all this fuss now? Because Adobe/Macromedia wants to have that direct access to everyone's computer. To control, to monitor, to do other similar stuff... Past several years they tried to foist their new service, that runs on the background, they silently put scheduled tasks, which may wake up and execute whatever they want, they silently request elevated privileges in IE, allowing to have access to your registry directly from web sites. And when some of those tricks become widely exploited by others (who knew that would happened, right?  ) they issued new security patches again, and again, and again... And now they start covering their real intentions (having control over your computer) with the latest buzzword - "sandbox". Wouldn't it be better, if they cared just a bit about computer security and designed their plugins/activeX without those tricks in the first place? But I guess that's just a rhetorical question at this point. It's Adobe/Macromedia we're dealing with... |
