Firefox will stop supporting web plugins (except for Flash) by the end of 2016

Horrible browser plugins used to offer extended multimedia features for website, often at the cost of a much worse overall experience -- thankfully, they're going the way of the dodo. Chrome recently banished plugins like Java and Silverlight (and made auto-playing Flash ads disabled by default), and now Firefox is doing the same. Mozilla just announced in a blog post that nearly all old-school plugins will not be supported in Firefox by the end of 2016. That's a long ways away, but it's still good news.
Naturally, the impossible-to-kill Adobe Flash platform is exempted from this doom, but everything else will be completely disabled. Mozilla also noted that new platforms, like the 64-bit Firefox for Windows, will launch without plugin support since they don't have to support a legacy base of users. Let's take a moment of thanks for standards like HTML5 making the web a better place to browse and start counting down the days until Flash can join Java in the internet's trash pile.

That's good news, but man, Flash is like the Horror Movie Villain of the Internet. Everyone tries to kill it and it keeps coming back. My grandchildren will complain about Flash still being supported I'm sure.

@TheOldestMan they will continue flash.

You can use flash block (plugin) to block it.

@DGM Oh yeah, I've been using Flashcontrol for some weeks now. That's why this article caught my eye Thanks for sharing it!
