Does anyone know if Adobe Flash is still tracking blocklist in Firefox?

If you're asking whether this blocklist request is still relevant, the answer is yes. It should be handled soon.

Hello Andrew, based on the top crasher on Aurora50 since a week, it seems most of the crashes are coming from the latest version 23.0.0.162. See http://bit.ly/2d1rghh for crash info.

Is there a possibility we can block that version too?

can you file a separate bug for it?  (we can... though blocking a release version of Flash is a contentious issue)

Everything looks like it's working correctly. However, the Flash Extended Support Release (18.0.0.366) is currently pointing to /blocked/p940/ [1] which is currently displaying "Flash Player Plugin 13.0.0.296 to 13.0.0.301 (click-to-play) has been blocked for your protection." Is the new p940 link replacing the current [1] one with the new range that will include the version that's being blocked in this bug?

18.0.0.366 block is pointing to a url on production AMO? https://blocklist.addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/blocked/p940 *not* something on the -dev blocklist?

(that they're both p940 is entirely coincidental - the production blocklist has more entries because of bulk certificate blocks that we don't manually test so the numbers when live are likely to be p1272-4)

I went through the blocks against 18.0.0.366 and ensured that the links were pointing to the blocklist-dev url [1]. Clicking on "Update Now" under about:addons will correctly open the url in a new tab and display "Flash Player Plugin 18.0.0.360 to 18.0.0.366 (click-to-play) has been blocked for your protection.".

Sounds great! I wasn't too sure if this would cause conflicts once it was pushed into production. Apologies for the red flag.
