No, it is exactly what we said. Adobe does not develop Flash for Linux anymore. Google does, but only for Chrome. As for Moz supporting Pepper: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=729481 Pepper is basically part of Google's Native Client, and MoFo views it as an assault on traditional OpenWeb standards, and they will not support it. >Further, the citation you gave > doesn't say that Flash users outside of Chrome are cut off entirely, they > just won't get NEW Flash. Apparently security updates are still a go. Maybe. Until they stop doing security updates for 11.2 They stopped *all* updates for 64 bit I know. > > Knowing the ingenuity of Linux users, hackers, and developers, someone will > find a way to get this "Pepper" thing working on Firefox. > > Further, it's still not a big thing.

But Youtube HTML5 is still limited, and Pandora may not use flash for the UI anymore, but it still delivers the stream via Flash. And in general things are not moving too fast right now. > As for AIR... I can't think of a single Linux > app I use that actually deployed it, except maybe Hulu Desktop (Did that use > AIR?)
