Flash 'in the pan'?
More and more anxiety over vulnerabilities with Flash. Firefox recently disabled the plug-in until the latest update was issued.

I know flash has been causing a lot of probs to many including myself, but is HTML5 a simple fix it for all and do I just download it and run it or what?

It's whether your browser supports html5, here's a test:

I got a good result from a cranky old library xp machine running chrome.
Folk saying will not work with FF39. You need to install chrome.
YouTube gives you the option to use html5.

FF39 scores 452/555, using the link above.
IE11, OTOH, only scores 341, on the same PC.
I'm sticking with FF39 for the moment.

I'm fairly certain html5 will be full of holes too. Java, FF and now Flash. Why can't the authors go over their own source code looking for security bugs? Should be easier than decompiling or whatever, looking at the machine code.

Because it's cheaper to let the consumer be the beta tester, and the industry has managed to con a large number of people into being frantic to be the first user of any kit / software that comes out to play that role. Win/win for the industry, tough **** if you have your data trashed or identity hacked by insecure and buggy code.
