Re: [gentoo-hardened] flash player plugin

I hope, that I agree with the responsible Hardened persons, that an
application like Firefox should never be installed with reduced security
measures. Those who setup a Hardened system will know how to disable some
features if it is really needed.
I hate Flash and I avoid it every time I can.

Dw.
