  Mozilla will block Flash in Firefox starting next month

  Mozilla is helping to hammer another nail in the coffin of Flash, and has finally joined other major browser vendors by deciding that starting August this year, Firefox will begin to block invisible Flash content, and that starting 2017, all Flash content will be blocked by default.

  Flash will soon be dead, and most browsers will not support flash.  Is WGT looking at alternatives to flash, and when will that be.

  WGT isn't invisible and default is just that-default, inferring there's an option.

  Sir, all I am pointing out that more and more browsers are opting out of flash content.  Due to the obvious inherent security risks.

  And in my opinion, WGT should be actively pursuing alternative means to ensure the security of its members.   Makes sense, don't you think.....

  Very good question, and that is where WGT should be stepping in.
