Clearly, the message has been sent to Adobe to fix Flash. Though I will note that Adobe has released version 18.0.0.209 which is not blocked and it isn’t clear if it addresses all of the known issues that made Mozilla block Flash in the first place. But it is clear that momentum is gaining to kill Flash once and for all.
