Mozilla Firefox 24.0 Beta 3 is now available.
In addition to that Adobe have also released another Flash Player 11.8 Beta.
Firefox 21.0 Beta 5
Firefox 21.0 Beta 5 is now available.
It seems they have quashed the Session Restore crashing bug.
There seems to be a pattern between the release of Firefox Beta and Adobe Flash Beta.
Adobe Flash Player 11.7 Beta
Adobe has just released Flash Player 11.7 Beta (Code Name: Geary).
Announcement: We are moving to a rapid beta release cycle using “Background Update“. We encourage you to subscribe so you can get the latest and the greatest Flash Player without a single mouse click. You may also subscribe to our Twitter channel @FlashPlayerBeta to stay on top of the current release schedule updates
We talked to Adobe Senior Vice President and General Manager of Digital Media Business Unit, David Wadhwani earlier this week. Adobe aims to add new features to existing product lines this Spring 2013.
Scam Alert: movieplayerupdate.com and videoplayerdownload.co
A Mozilla Firefox user reported popup ads from movieplayerupdate.com (movieplayerupdate.com/mtrack/free_download/1/pre/).
Another Mozilla Firefox user also reported the popup ads from movieplayerupdate.com (movieplayerupdate.com/flashplayer/download_free/).
Both links now show 404 not found, but not before we managed to grab a screenshot. It says:
http:// movieplayerupdate.com
WARNING! Your Flash Player may be out of date. Please update to continue
The site is also telling user:
Please Install Flash Player Pro to Continue
Remember folks, there is no such thing as “Flash Player Pro”.
The links on both “REMIND ME LATER” and “INSTALL” point to: mtrack10.com/base2.php
By clicking either button, an executable file will be downloaded.
A user sent us a note that similar popups from videoplayerdownload.co were found (videoplayerdownload.co/free-download/mt/1/pre/).
The “Install Now” link also points to mtrack10.com/base2.php
It seems that both movieplayerupdate.com (whois info) and videoplayerdownload.co (whois info) are registered by the same individual through GoDaddy on the same day (Feb 20, 2013).
The domain mtrack10.com (whois info) is also registered through GoDaddy one week earlier (Feb 14, 2013).
By clicking the “Install Now” button, an executable file will be downloaded.
——-
It is pretty obvious the individuals behind the domain names mentioned above are unscrupulous. Do not blindly download some programs just because a popup told you so.
To update Flash Player, download it direct from Adobe.

When Shockwave Flash Crashed…
True story.
I found out that Shockwave Flash has crashed…
Then I asked this guy why it crashed…
Then laughters ensued.
Thanks to David for being a a good sport.
Dear Adobe…
I have been seeing this way too often.
Shockwave Flash has crashed.
Adobe Flash and HTML5.
The headline: “Adobe to cease Flash development for mobile browsers, refocus efforts on HTML5.”
I had a conversation with a cousin of a friend who turned out to be one of Adobe Senior Vice President. We had a brief conversation about tablets. He told me to get the one from Motorola or RIM instead of an iPad. The reason: Adobe Flash. I do not remember exactly when, but it was definitely sometimes in December 2010.
Flash forward (no pun intended) to November 9th, 2011 around 18:00 hour. I just got the confirmation for a meeting with this Adobe Senior Vice President a few weeks from today.
I would have a good 120 minutes to talk to him on multiple subjects. Now, what topics should I discuss with him?
