Summary0003536: Firefox Update Needed
Description

45.3.0 needs to be upgraded. Among other security problems, I am having issues adding annotations to youtube videos. I make Youtube videos about Pentesting with Kali.

Personally, I think it has something to do with html5/flash.

Steps To Reproduce

Login to your youtube channel and try and add any annotations to any of your videos.

Additional Information

All buttons are grayed out, and no video preview even appears, as you can see in the attached screenshot

I installed the add-on QuickJava 2.1.0 Enable/Disable Javascript, Java, Flash, WebGL, WebRTC, Silverlight, Animated Images, Cookies, Images, CSS, and Proxy from Toolbar.

This seems to make the grayed out areas appear, I can now click it, with no response however. The video also doesn't appear in that black box from the screen shot.

Apparently also an issue in Chromium Version 52.0.2743.116 built on Debian stretch/sid, running on Debian Kali Linux Rolling

Fixed: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree

Can't we include this package?

Due to reasons like this I think. Can't remember where I read on Kali's sites about how flash is a security risk. Here is a recent problem that happened

Sorry we will not install flash by default.
