Firefox will block plug-ins from third parties

Mozilla recently released a statement: in the near future, they will lock plug-ins from third parties on their Firefox browser. This means that when users browse the web with Firefox, the content on the website if written with tools like Java, Reader, and Silverlight will be blocked.

Only the most popular Flash-plug-in content today is activated by default. Of course, Firefox will also offer the "Click to Play" option so that users can manually activate the content that the browser has locked by default.

"Locking third-party plug-ins to help Firefox increase performance and stability. Besides, this will also bring security benefits," Mozilla said on the blog. Mozilla's policy will also help users better control plug-ins. Users will decide for themselves which plug-in to run on this website and disable it on other websites. If you do not care and feel annoyed by the notification (whether it allows Firefox plug-in or not), you can set the website to always enable plug-ins in the browser. "You can also set up to completely lock plug-ins," - Mozilla said.

This weakness makes the browser a temporary phenomenon. stopping when downloading and stopping download plug-ins, and plug-ins cause your device to consume memory when users surf the web, causing Firefox to crash.With disabling plug-ins and providing permissions Control them for users (allow plug-ins to run or not), Mozilla can solve these problems " - Firefox browser developer said.

Mozilla's new policy also adds to the security of the browser, because plug-ins are one of the hacker's favorite routes to infiltrate user computers, especially those who don't pay attention to updating. New plug-in versions."Click to Play feature protects users from the risk of hackers breaking into computers if they accidentally access a website that has a security bug related to plug-ins, because at this time plug -in has been disabled " - Mozilla said.

As mentioned above, the company will add "Click and Play" feature to all plug-ins except the latest Flash versions. The older and more secure versions of Silverlight, Adobe Reader, Java are now in the "blacklist" of Mozilla.
