CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: Seth Rosenblatt on December 05, 2008
Adobe's latest version of the Flash Player browser plug-in is just as trouble-free as previous versions, existing unobtrusively in your system until Web-based animations, games, or ubiquitous Flash ads require its services.
The latest version downloads and installs quickly, and will probably always require a browser restart. Our tests turned up nothing to make us scratch our heads, and upgrading from version 9 to the current one has fixed for many people a bug that caused embedded video to freeze.
You need a Flash Player to experience the Web at its fullest, so users at any level of expertise should have no qualms about installing or upgrading to Flash 10.

Version: Flash Player (Netscape/Firefox) 8.0.22
Cons: Macromedia FLASH is what advertisers use to throw annoying animated ads at you everywhere you go.
Some of the better anti-spyware and anti-adware apps block flash because of this.

Version: Flash Player (Netscape/Firefox) 8.0.22
Pros: Firefox has become very popular indeed. The flash player allows you view pages with flash content. Most websites today contain flash content. A basic need for Firefox and Netscape users.
Cons: Nothing.

Version: Flash Player (Netscape/Firefox) 8.0.22
"a plus for movies a minus for adds"
Pros: movies and animation on web sites
Cons: The ads! I don't mean pop ups either those are blocked for me. What I mean are ads on the side bar that are moving video, flashing like a neon sign and extremely annoying!! These ads wern't there until I downloaded flash player. I am considering getting rid of it now.
seriously think twice before you download this!
