New Addon Manual Download Requirements Suck

I'll be DAMNED if I'll be forced to load Adobe Flash Player just to download an addon for manual install!  Don't you people read the bloody news?  Adobe Flash Player is HUGELY vulnerable to exploits, can take over your whole system with a malicious flash program, and more!

And now you require it for a manual download?  Hey, do that for the unwashed masses, the strangers, if you like.  But I'm logged in as a properly registered user; you KNOW who I am.  So what's the issue, eh?

So long, Curse ... it was nice to know you.

The Manual Install button is a flash button, requiring flash to load it.

Guess I haven't noticed since all of the PCs I use have flash due to the thousands upon thousands of things that use flash on a daily basis.

while flash may at times be vulnerable, a savy PC user can easily handle any issues that a hacked flv could present.  Try Firefox with no script and

the firefox addon that tracks site warnings (I forget the name but it is represented as a little donut or O on your Firefox navigation bar)

More importantly.... you do NOT have to install flash in order to manually download addons. If the original poster had bothered to be a little more detailed in his argument you would know that if you do not have flash installed you only have an extra step involved in the download process. All you have to do is enter a captcha code to download. All that flash allows you to do is bypass this extra step in the future.

I think that the OP is just a little lazy, or a troll that is just looking to start yet another "I hate Curse because..." thread.

See my "Thread to end all threads thread" for the answer to your question!
