Future Firefox upgrades will now check for third party add-on updates, like Adobe Flash, and other similar add-ons, plugins, and extensions. I think that is a really good move. Many times, the security can be compromised with these add-ons, or plugins. Adobe flash has been known to be a favorite of the hackers, and often contains vulnerabilities.

It is a good move - but Mozilla better be sure all providers of whatever service is synced with this update mania

Although, its not mentioned in the release notes, but the feature may well be available with the new release of Firefox, according to this article:
http://www.techspot.com/news/36161-m...refox-353.html Its a request, if anyone finds this feature working, please do give feedback here. I can't check, because I have the latest version of flash installed. This release appears to check only for Adobe Flash updates. More will be added later.

Mozilla has indeed released this new feature with the latest version of 3.5.3, and the response has been really positive. According to the news in the link which will be posted below, this feature of Firefox has lead 10 million people to download Flash. Now, that's really quite a response!
