Any alternative for the Firefox plug-in 'Adobe Flash Player'?

[Alan Dacey (grokit)]

The reason it is blocked is because there are zero day exploits being used in the wild.  Look up "Hacking Team hacked" for more information.
The only alternative is HTML5 video.  Some sites use it, like Youtube, but not all.
Basically you're stuck with flash if you visit sites that use it.
