If they're finally throwing out Flash, that could really improve the internet. We'll take our HTML5 video now, please.

  Flash is a Firefox plugin made by Adobe, not Mozilla. It's not installed by default, it's added when you install Flash on your computer. If you want it off, just uninstall Flash from your computer or type "about:addons" into your address bar and disable the Flash plugin yourself. This article is about extensions, not plugins. The names are confusing, but they're not the same thing. https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Plugins https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Plugins

    Actually the article is about add-ons, which according to FF terminology include extensions, themes, and plugins. Of course there's not a chance that Mozilla will stop supporting Flash in its browsers, but I thought it was a funny comment on the performance of HTML5 video/interactive content vs Flash.

      Mozilla doesn't support Flash in its browser -- Adobe does. Anyone can write a plug-in for Firefox.
