Adobe's Flash software is now blocked by default on all versions of the Firefox web browser.
This was done by Firefox because recently unearthed bugs in Flash were being actively used by cyber-thieves.
The bugs were detailed in a cache of documents stolen from security firm Hacking Team that was hit by attackers last week.
Adobe said it took Flash's security "seriously" and was planning bug fixes.
Flash is widely used on many websites for both multimedia and interactive elements.
Adobe took security "very seriously" and was making "extensive efforts" internally to harden Flash against attackers,
Adobe team still working on patches for two other bugs found by the security firm.It said patches for the other bugs should be available later this week.
