This page describes our plan and policy around the new Firefox 3 capability of Plugin Blocklisting. We currently have Add-On Blocklisting.

Policy

Block plugins:
- with versions with known vulnerabilities or major user-facing issues
- with version ranges with known vulnerabilities
- with fatal bugs (client crashes on startup or something causing an endless loop of unusability)

Don't block:
- before we work with author/vendor to send out an update, so don't block the most recent version of a major plugin
- for minor bugs for non-popular extensions/plugins (crashes on event calls, messed up UI, etc.)

Plan

QA to verify all plugin blocklist open issues - bug 391731
Contact Adobe & Sun re:vulnerable list [DVeditz/Window/Brandon?]
Publish list to http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/blocklist
Create a component in BZ for filing requests
Publish this policy
