Mozilla catches half of Firefox users running insecure Flash

“Of the 6 million or so people who upgraded to either 3.5.3 or
3.0.14 of Firefox on its debut last Thursday, slightly more than 3
million of them were found to be running an outdated Flash version,
according to Mozilla’s Ken Kovash. Sadly, only about 35 percent of
those informed they had an insecure installation clicked on a link
to upgrade to the latest version.

“That suggests that some 2 million Firefox users remained
vulnerable to remote exploit attacks even after Mozilla presented
them with a warning that said “your current version of Flash Player
can cause security and stability issues” and added “you should
update Adobe Flash Player right now.”
