Mozilla To Bug Firefox Users With Old Adobe Reader, Flash, Silverlight 247
An anonymous reader writes "Mozilla today announced it will soon start prompting Firefox users to upgrade select old plugins. This will only affect Windows users, and three plugins: Adobe Reader, Adobe Flash, and Microsoft Silverlight. Mozilla says Firefox users will 'soon see a notification urging them to update' when they visit a web page that uses the plugins."

Update at 5:10PM EST: No dice. “At this time, Mozilla does not have additional information to share beyond the blog post content,” a Mozilla spokesperson told The Next Web in a statement. “We’ll be sure to update you once we have additional details to share regarding the timing, version(s) impacted and visual look of the message.”

We believe that Firefox is an excellent web browser.
I think a similar thing might have been said by some guy in my signature.

I think that updating Adobe's PDF reader every minute means you'll still be behind the curve. The amount of effort they put into updating that thing is amazing. My ability to read textual documents using it has come a long way in the last 5 years - there's just no comparison between reading pdf documents then and now.

I regard all Adobe products as malware, I thought everyone did.
