Firefox browser plugin is disabled

Mozilla has adopted a more aggressive approach to browser Plug-ins in the latest version of the Firefox Aurora Beta: All plugins are disabled by default except Flash. Users are required to set up plug-ins such as Microsoft Silverlight or Apple's QuickTime player. Google's Chrome and Microsoft's IE will also use this plug-in strategy.

In the latest Aurora beta release, all plug-ins are run with the consent of the user except Flash Player. Users can select the "Allow and remember" option to avoid repeated prompts when a specific plug-in needs to be run.

Mozilla is doing this because many plug-ins can pose a security or sustainability risk. At the same time, Google's Chrome browser will also be the default in January 2014 to disable many plug-ins. Similarly, Microsoft has adopted this strategy in the use of IE on new Windows 8. The three major browsers also allow Flash Player plug-ins by default, but other similar to Google Talk, Java, Adobe Acrobat, and so on, require user manual permission to enable.
