It'll be interesting to see if the average website keeps up...

Re: Firefox joins the phase out Flash party

I haven't had Flash installed since the end of last year.

The only site that makes real problems is the BBC, it says I am using an outdated browser and should install a modern browser with Flash... Modern browsers don't need Flash, it is your decrepit website that needs modernising!

Re: Firefox joins the phase out Flash party

The BBC's website has always sucked. The videos on their news website never used to buffer (and may still not, I'm not sure). On slow connections they'd just stop and start as they got the data, you couldn't pause them and watch them when they'd finished downloading.

I have to tell Safari to use the iPad user agent to get their videos playing properly.
