Dude, it's flash, it's been horribly insecure since the beginning of time ;)
ok, but Robert has a point indeed. But then we can discuss based on that concern: Actually Firefox will block outdated Flash versions anyway. So people cannot just continue to use it in many cases. Therefore while there is a point I'm not sure we have to take extra measurements on it.
This "blocking" is just a question. If you decide to continue using the installed Flash version, this is only 1 click away.
We could think about provided a package to replace earlier flash-player versions shipped by openSUSE which contains "nothing". But then again is it worth the effort?
Or you point the folks to the packman Repos, where they will find a package named chromium-pepper-flash, which can be used by Firefox too. Werner --
