Mozilla ships Firefox 26 with limited click-to-play security

2013-12-11 18:33:47| InfoWorld: Top News

Mozilla on Tuesday released Firefox 26, which kicked off a limited form of click-to-play and patched 15 security vulnerabilities, six marked "critical." Click-to-play -- a security feature that requires users to authorize the use of a plug-in when a website or page element requires it -- has been adopted by other browsers as protection against a rising tide of exploits that leverage bugs in plug-ins, particularly Adobe's Flash Player and Oracle's Java.
