Firefox 3.0 RC1 has blocked my Quicktime plug-in 7.1.6 “for your protection”.
The “tell me why” link takes me to the blacklist page.
The blacklist page has 5 entries.
None of which is in anyway related (even remotely) to Quicktime.
ver. 2.0.0.14 is looking good again.

This is a release blocker for us, but in the meantime, we didn't want to put users in a situation where we'd block Flash and then make it impossible to upgrade it :) Also, you might want to look here: http://wiki.mozilla.org/Blocklisting to see what our Blocklisting policy is.

I updated from Flash Player yesterday (or was it two days ago?) from 9.0 r115 to 9.0 r124. According to Adobe, Flash Player 9.0.124 was released on April 8, 2008 and it was fixing security vulnerabilities in Flash Player 9.0.115. I have been using Firefox 3 RC 1 since it was released. I don't know if Firefox 3 RC 1 detects and disables the vulnerable Flash Player version today but from 2008-04-08 to 2008-05-28 seems like more than 24 hours to me. I don’t believe you.
