Firefox will automatically update Flash Player
Holes in Flash Player so all tortured that Mozilla announced the mandatory verification of updates Flash Player directly from the browser. Such functionality will be implemented already in tomorrow's versions of Firefox 3.5.3 and 3.0.14. Immediately after installing the update, Firefox will receive this message.
In the future (from version 3.6), plug-in updates will be checked on an ongoing basis, as extensions are being checked now. Theoretically, the developers would like to make the process of updating plug-ins as easy as that of extensions, that is, without visiting third-party sites. In the case of Flash Player, at least through Adobe Express Install.
Flash Player is one of the easiest ways to get into the system. Exploits are published quite often, and holes close rather slowly. Even after the release of the update, up to 80% of users continue to use the old version of the player.

By the way, just a couple of days ago, a scandal broke out with Apple , which, along with its new operating system, delivered an old, broken version of Flash Player, and when upgrading a Mac OS, a newer Flash Player was forcibly replaced with an older one.
